One of the World's largest container ship operators, CMA CGM in record time deployed a dedicated team for what promises to be one of the great films of 2020, the next James Bond film 'No Time To Die'.

The French owned shipping transport Group put its expertise, responsiveness and rigor to the benefit of the production of the Bond film which involved two ships and use of a container terminal in Kingston, Jamaica.

According to CMA CGM this was the first time in the history of the Group to mobilize ships for the production of the blockbuster. This involved CMA CGM Fort Saint Georges (2,260 TEU) and the larger capacity CMA CGM Fort de France (3,504 TEU).

A dozen sailors from CMA CGM Fort Saint Georges and their Captain also took part, and nearly 1,000 containers were included in the shoot.

For the fifth time, Daniel Craig will play Agent 007, this time under the direction of Cary Joji Fukunaga, winner of the Emmy Awards for the first season of True Detective.

No Time To Die will be released globally from 2 April, 2020 in the U.K. through Universal Pictures International and in the U.S on 10 April, from Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios via their United Artists Releasing banner.
