CMA CGM Container Terminal Featured in Seaplane Stunt for New James Bond Flick

CMA CGM’s Kingston Container Terminal in Jamaica will serve as the backdrop for an action sequence in the upcoming James Bond flick, No Time To Die. The company’s vessels, CMA CGM For Saint Georges and CMA CGM Fort De France, will also be making a cameo in the scene.

CMA CGM said more than 1,000 container were mobilized for the shoot, in addition to a dozen crew who took part in the filming.

The scene involves flying a seaplane through the terminals’ STS cranes, which we can only assume was the first time such a stunt has been attempted.

Filming took place at the CMA CGM-operated Kingston South Quay Terminal in Jamaica, a strategic transhipment hub for the Group in the Caribbean, located at the exit of the Panama Canal and the crossroads of the North/South and East/West lines.

No Time To Die is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and stars Daniel Craig, who returns for his fifth and final film as James Bond. The film will be released in theaters in the UK on September 30, 2021, with its U.S. released planned for October 8, 2021.
