CMA CGM eyes 'most expensive' dual-fuel containerships to date

CMA CGM is considering an order for 10 feeder boxships that may cost the outfit more than $620m.

According to shipbuilding sources, the French liner giant is looking to build a series of ice-class 1A, 2,000-teu newbuildings to be delivered in 2024.

"If CMA CGM is to build these ice-class notation containerships, they probably will be the most expensive feeder vessels of this size to be ordered," a shipbuilding broker said.
