CMA CGM Takes Delivery of Methanol-Fuelled Boxship
Wednesday March 18, 2026
French shipping company CMA CGM has added another dual-fuel methanol container ship to its fleet.
The 15,000 TEU capacity vessel, CMA CGM Carmen, was officially named in a ceremony in China, the company said in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday.
The vessel has been built by CSSC Jiangnan Shipyard.
CMA CGM is expanding its methanol-fuelled fleet. Last month, CMA CGM took delivery of a 13,000 TEU container ship, CMA CGM Osmium, in South Korea.
The container segment has led orders for methanol-fuelled newbuilds. With a growing number of methanol-powered boxships on order, ports will need to scale up the availability of green methanol quickly to meet the resulting surge in demand.
