CMA CGM and Port of Shanghai team up for mass ‘cold ironing’ initiative

French liner operator CMA CGM Group and Shanghai International Port Group will collaborate on a project to scale up use of “cold ironing” technology, the use of onshore power supply for container ships at the Port of Shanghai.

The two companies signed the long-term strategic collaboration on Thursday. Effective immediately, all fully-fitted CMA CGM container ships calling at Shanghai will use the onshore power connection.
