In November 2017, the company decided to be the first shipowner<\/a> in the world to equip its nine future 23,000 TEU vessels with engines powered by LNG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CMA CGM confirmed<\/a> the USD 1.2 billion worth order for the boxship giants in September 2017, a month after market rumors on the order emerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, the company said that the new ships \u201cwill further reduce unit transport costs, particularly on the Asia-Europe routes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, the CMA CGM fleet will count 20 LNG-powered vessels, including the nine 23,000 TEUs, scheduled to start joining the fleet from 2020, five 15,000 TEU containerships, as well as six vessels of 1,400 TEUs, of which 3 have already been delivered to Containerships, the group\u2019s intra-Europe subsidiary.
