France’s CMA CGM has made its first methanol orders, following in the footsteps of Denmark’s Maersk. The company has so far been most heavily investing in LNG propulsion.
The Marseille-headquartered firm has revealed in its Q1 report further fleet expansion, which takes its orderbook to 69 ships. As well as confirming orders for 10 smaller LNG dual-fuelled ships during its Q1 presentation.
CMA CGM also revealed it has signed for six 15,000 teu dual-fuel methanol-powered vessels, which will join the fleet by the end of 2025.
Maersk set the ball rolling among containerlines over the past year with a series of orders for methanol-powered ships. X-Press Feeders and Danaos are among others who have followed suit.
