CMA CGM, was founded in 1996 as a merger of the Compagnie Générale Maritime (CGM) et the Compagnie Maritime d'Affrètement (CMA).
Compagnie Générale Transatlantique, the predecessor company to Compagnie Générale Maritime (CGM), at one time carried passengers on liners such as the 'Normandy' or the 'France'. CGM maintained only its cargo business when the French government decides to privatise it in 1977.
CMA was created in 1978 by Jacques Saadé as an intra-Mediterranean liner service operator, based in Marseille. After the merger, Jacques Saadé became the first chairman of CMA CGM. He was succeeded in this position by his son Rodolphe in 2017.
