Cma Cgm announced on 15 November 2025 that it has signed a preliminary agreement to acquire a 20 per cent stake in Eurogate Container Terminal Hamburg, with completion expected in the first half of 2026 subject to the required approvals. The deal consolidates the group’s presence in Germany, a core market in European and global trade flows, and fits into its strategy of expanding infrastructure to support its maritime network.
Eurogate’s Hamburg terminal currently has a capacity of four million teu and is already used by Cma Cgm through services such as the Fal connection between Asia and Northern Europe, operated with 23,000-teu LNG-fuelled vessels. The facility is regarded as an efficient node with strong rail integration, thanks to its direct link to Europkombi, Germany’s main intermodal terminal.
The agreement also supports the terminal’s planned western expansion, which foresees around 38 additional hectares and 1,050 metres of new quay. The development will raise total capacity to almost six million teu, aiming to accommodate new-generation vessels and improve operational efficiency, while further enhancing integration with the rail network and inland services. With its entry into the shareholding structure, Cma Cgm is therefore participating in the port’s long-term development, strengthening Hamburg’s role as a key gateway for Northern Europe.
Cma Cgm’s activities in Germany began in 1991 with offices in Hamburg and Bremen and have since grown to include nine offices and 23 weekly calls at the ports of Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven. Integrated logistics services provided through its subsidiary Ceva Logistics, with more than 500,000 square metres of warehousing and around 5,200 employees, together with inland services supplied by Cma Cgm Inland Services and the trimodal terminal in Duisburg, enable the group to offer end-to-end connections.
