Reviews & Ratings for the Cma-Cgm-Everglade

On April 19, 2026, four container vessels operated by CMA CGM, including the 'CMA CGM Everglade', found themselves unable to navigate through the Strait of Hormuz after reaching its midpoint. This unexpected blockage caused significant disruptions to their scheduled maritime routes. While details regarding the cause and anticipated resolution remain under wraps by both the authorities and CMA CGM, the situation is being closely monitored. Earlier, on April 18, 2026, the 'CMA CGM Everglade' was reportedly fired upon while transiting north of Kumzar in the Strait of Hormuz. Fortunately, all crew members aboard were unharmed, though the vessel did sustain minor damage, primarily affecting several containers. Importantly, no environmental damage was observed as a result of the incident. The region experienced heightened tensions that day, with two additional notable incidents reported to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). At 9:20 a.m. UTC, the captain of the tanker 'Sanmar Herald' informed authorities that their ship was approached by two speedboats affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which opened fire without warning via VHF radio. Thankfully, the tanker and its crew remained safe, and there were no reports of damage. Later, at 12:08 p.m. UTC, the cruise ship 'Mein Schiff 4' reported a nearby impact in the water, occurring three nautical miles east of Oman. As the situation unfolds, shipping companies, mariners, and maritime authorities continue to exercise caution in the strategically vital waterway of the Strait of Hormuz.
