APHU Container Tracking — CMA CGM-Owned Prefix

Track on cma-cgm.com — official CMA CGM tracker

CMA CGM is the French giant out of Marseille, third by fleet size and owner of the APL brand it bought in 2016 plus the intra-Asia specialist CNC.

The register mirrors those deals: alongside the core CMA codes sit three APL-heritage prefixes and the CNC brand code, all tracked on the one cma-cgm.com system.

APHU is the third APL-era code still circulating inside the CMA CGM pool.
