About CMB

CMB – Compagnie Maritime Belge

CMB was founded in 1895 as a shipping line linking Belgium and the Congo. We were then known as the Compagnie Belge Maritime du Congo (CBMC). However, over time our shipping lines extended further afield. We were renamed as the Compagnie Maritime Belge or CMB.
