CMA CGM Large LNG-Fuelled Boxship Named in France
Friday July 3, 2026
French container shipping firm CMA CGM has officially named its large LNG-fuelled container ship in Le Havre, France.
The 24,212 TEU ship, CMA CGM Notre Dame, is the world’s largest LNG-fuelled container ship, the company said in a LinkedIn post on Thursday.
Ship & Bunker had reported in May that the vessel made its maiden call at Yangshan on May 22.
The vessel is the first in a planned series of 10 vessels due for delivery between 2026 and 2028.
While LNG is becoming a more widely available alternative marine fuel than options such as methanol or ammonia, these vessels may still need to transition to lower-carbon fuels such as bio-LNG as emissions rules tighten.
Bio-LNG can be used as a drop-in fuel in LNG-fuelled ships.
