French boxship giant CMA CGM has become the first ocean carrier listed on online freight marketplace Freightos.
The owner said it has signed an "ambitious pilot agreement" whereby online bookings, guaranteed pricing and secured capacity on its China-US trade lanes are available on the platform, with further extension to additional lanes planned in the near future.
It added the deal "reinforces its position as a digital leader within the industry and takes yet another step towards its customer-centric strategy, offering importers and exporters of all sizes direct access to instant pricing, routing, and concrete sailing information in seconds, as well as guaranteed capacity."
