France-based container shipping company CMA CGM has taken delivery of a new ultra-large container vessel equipped with dual-fuel LNG propulsion.
The 24,000 TEU ship, CMA CGM Grand Palais, was officially named during a ceremony held last week, according to a company update shared on LinkedIn..
The vessel was constructed by Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, at its yard in China.
Designed for LNG operations, the ship is fitted with fuel tanks offering a total capacity of 18,600 cbm. It is powered by dual-fuel engines supplied by WinGD, allowing it to run on both LNG and conventional marine fuels.
