It has been announced that the consortium of banks of European shipping line CMA CGM has signed an agreement to release $80 million in financing to the shipping group. This financing is part of the overall Restructuring Plan whose negotiations are proceeding ‘normally’ and which calls in particular for the grant of a $500 million cash facility. The company said that this payment is made at a time when the Group’s operations are continuing to show strong improvement month after month.
