A more sustainable offering with 15 dual-fuel, LNG-powered CMA CGM ships already assigned to Ocean Alliance
As part of its commitment to the shipping industry’s energy transition, the CMA CGM Group already operates 15 dual-fuel, liquefied natural gas-powered ships under the aegis of Ocean Alliance. The CMA CGM Group’s entire e-methane ready fleet will expand to 44 ships by year-end 2024.
Since 2017, CMA CGM has chosen to invest in dual-fuel vessels that run on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and allow to almost fully reduce atmospheric pollutant emissions. This represents a first step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The engine installed on these vessels is already capable of using BioLNG from biomethane (-67% in CO₂ emissions) or synthetic methane (including e-methane).
