Delmas_(shipping_company)
Delmas Shipping, based in Le Havre, France, was a containerized-freight and ro-ro shipping company, mainly carrying trade between western Europe and Africa. It was the largest cargo carrier between European and African ports, and Europe's oldest extant shipping line.[citation needed] Delmas was bought by CMA CGM Group from the Bolloré Group for €470 million in 2005, and fully integrated into its parent in March 2016.
The company operated a fleet of 49 vessels with a collective capacity of 63,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU),[1] on 15 routes between Europe, Africa and the Indian Ocean.
