CMA CGM's Large LNG-Fuelled Boxship Joins Asia-Europe Service
French container shipping firm CMA CGM is set to deploy its new LNG-fuelled containership CMA CGM Notre Dame on its Asia-Europe service.
The vessel made its maiden call at Shanghai’s Yangshan Port on May 22 before joining CMA CGM’s French Asia Line connecting Asia and Northern Europe, the company said in an email update on Monday.
The 24,212 TEU vessel is described by the company as the world’s largest LNG-powered French-flagged container ship and is the first in a planned series of 10 vessels due for delivery between 2026 and 2028.
CMA CGM said the ship features AI-assisted navigation and energy-management systems aimed at improving operational efficiency and reducing emissions.
The vessel is equipped with an 18,600 m3 LNG fuel tank and energy-saving technologies, including an aerodynamic windshield system.
The vessel will be officially named in Le Havre in early July.
