Logistics giant CMA CGM has unveiled a $20 billion investment plan over the next four years to enhance land, sea, and air infrastructure across the United States. This initiative will also include a Boston-based R&D center and create 10,000 jobs.

The company plans to strengthen U.S. maritime capabilities by developing key ports on the East and West coasts, including New York, Los Angeles, Dutch Harbor, Houston, and Miami. These investments aim to streamline supply chains, drive digital transformation, and improve port security.

In air freight, CMA CGM will establish a cargo hub in Chicago, deploying five new Boeing 777 freighters to enhance connectivity and ensure the swift transport of critical goods. The company also plans to expand American President Lines (APL), its U.S.-based airline.

Additionally, CMA CGM will launch new warehouses and an automotive logistics platform across the country. The Boston R&D center, focusing on robotics and automation, will be developed in collaboration with tech partners to enhance logistics efficiency.
