France’s CMA CGM is kicking off a new era for container shipping after delivery of the first in a series of more than 20 LNG-fuelled large containerships designed for the east-west trades.
The 14,800-teu CMA CGM Tenere (built 2020) sailed at the weekend from Tianjin on its maiden voyage from Asia to northern Europe.
The vessel, previously called the Morecambe Bay, was delivered last week from South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries to the ship's owner, Singapore’s Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS).
