CMA CGM Names Methanol-Fuelled Boxship
Tuesday September 29, 2026
French shipping company CMA CGM has named its new methanol dual-fuel container ship.
The 15,000 TEU container ship, Alceste, is part of a series of six ships, the firm said in a LinkedIn post yesterday.
The latest addition comes as CMA CGM continues to expand its methanol-fuelled fleet. The company took delivery of another methanol-fuelled container ship last month.
The container shipping sector has accounted for a large share of methanol-fuelled vessel orders.
The growing number of methanol-capable ships entering service is expected to support demand for marine methanol.
“Under the command of Captain Li Qiang WANG, CMA CGM ALCESTE will now join our BEX2 service, carrying a name born on the stage onto the world’s oceans,” it said.
