TNTM

The TNTM project

The TNTM project is a research and development project led by ENSM that aims to optimise the entire maritime logistics chain, both economically and environmentally, by focusing on :

  • optimising the various stages of the maritime part of the logistics chain;
  • using monitoring data to improve ship performance;
  • optimising logistics flows using container IoT data.

The project is in line with the CMA CGM Group’s commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, as well as with the maritime transport sector’s decarbonisation objectives. Indeed, from 2023 and increasingly until 2050, the IMO will impose a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions on players in the shipping industry through binding financial and operational measures. This challenge is one of the biggest that maritime transport has ever faced, and can only be met by committing to projects such as TNTM, aimed at developing major innovations and paradigm shifts for ships, containers and the means of operating them. The tool to be developed will enable better on-board energy management by proposing solutions for the optimal sizing of multi-source energy systems, guaranteeing efficient and sustainable use of available resources and optimum supply to on-board consumers. This decision-making tool is destined to become an indispensable element in the planning and execution of the ship’s missions, in harmony with sustainable development objectives and future regulatory requirements.
