50 buses donated by France 🇫🇷 arrived today to Beirut, Lebanon 🇱🇧 on the AKNOUL, one of our RORO vessels.
This operation will support the country’s economic recovery by ensuring access to public transportation and facilitate the mobility of the Lebanese citizens. It will also create recruitment opportunities for bus drivers!
This operation mobilized many partners: Île-de-France Mobilités and RATP donated the buses with the help of the French Ministries of the Economy (Ministère de l’Économie, des Finances et de la Souveraineté industrielle et numérique), Ecological Transition (Ministère de la Transition écologique) and Europe and Foreign Affairs (Ministère de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères).
CMA CGM demonstrated its commitment to the Lebanese people and participated in the operation by offering the transportation by land and sea of the 50 Buses donated by France to Lebanon.
Once again, the Aknoul reaches the Lebanese shore during these unprecedented socio-economic circumstances. Its arrival today succeeds the complimentary shipment that has reached Beirut back in September 2020 carrying more than 2,500 tons of humanitarian aid.
