BuyCo, a French digital start-up for booking container freight, founded by former CMA CGM ­employees, has its sights set on handling two million teu annually.

The Marseilles company hopes to link the volumes from 200 ­medium-size freight forwarders with average shipments of 10,000 teu, says founder and chief executive Carl Lauron, who was previously in charge of freight forwarding and innovation at liner operator CMA CGM.
