CMA CGM to Take on Synthetic LNG and Methanol in Morocco
Friday November 1, 2024
Container line CMA CGM is planning to bunker synthetic LNG and methanol in Morocco.
The company has formed a joint venture with Marsa Maroc to equip and operate half of the Nador West Med container terminal, it said in a statement on its website.
The firms are aiming to increase throughput at the facility to 1.2 million TEU/year.
CMA CGM will look to use the terminal to provide alternative fuels for its ships.
"Thanks to Morocco's green hydrogen production sector, "Nador West Med" is also destined to become a maritime bunkering hub for new synthetic energies in the Mediterranean (e-methane and e-methanol), notably for the CMA CGM Group's fleet of dual-fuel gas and methanol vessels," the company said in the statement.
