French container shipping major CMA CGM welcomed nine e-methane-ready dual-fuel container ships into the fleet in 2022.
The ships pertain to CMA CGM’s $10.2 billion investment in a fleet of 77 LNG-powered and “e-methane ready” vessels of which 32 are already in operation. The company also has six biomethanol-powered, e-methanol ready ships that are scheduled to become available by the end of 2026.
To remind, last year China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) completed and delivered ten 15,000 TEU containerships to its French partner CMA CGM.
The occasion was marked by the delivery of the LNG-powered containership CMA CGM Greenland.
The boxship is a sister vessel to four LNG-fueled containerships CMA CGM Patagonia (delivered in September 2021), CMA CGM Kimberley (delivered in December 2021), CMA CGM Everglade (delivered in January 2022) and CMA CGM Galapagos (delivered in June 2022).
