CMA CGM pens LoI for LNG-fueled containerships

Asia

LNG Prime recently reported that CMA CGM was planning a new order. Sources said on Tuesday that CMA CGM has decided to build the next batch of its LNG-powered

cbm, according to France’s GTT.

This will be the first implementation of GTT’s 1 barg tank design pressure, a new standard for the use of GTT’s Mark III Flex technology in LNG fuel tanks.

Large LNG-powered fleet

CMA CGM is one of the world’s largest backers of LNG fuel, and it has set a goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Pioneering the use of alternative fuels, the group has invested $18 billion in orders for 131 dual-fuel vessels, which will be operational by 2028.

Most of these container vessels, including the giant 23,000-teu LNG dual-fuel containerships, are powered by LNG.

Also, twelve of these new LNG-powered vessels joined the fleet in the third quarter of this year, CMA CGM said in its recent financial report.
