French carrier, CMA CGM, decided to extend its methanol-ready fleet with an order for six ships of 8,000 teu from Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries’s Korean yard.
CMA CGM has ordered six new-Panamax ships that are methanol-ready with a second order, worth a reported $736m in total, with expected deliveries of the vessels in 2025.
CMA CGM joins competitor Maersk as among the first in the sector to embrace the use of e-methanol, which is produced from hydrogen and carbon dioxide using renewable sources by ordering vessels capable of using the alternative fuel.
