Worldwide shipping and logistics company CMA CGM Group on Friday (29 January) said it launched CMA CGM Patagonia, the first 15,000 TEU liquified natural gas (LNG)-powered vessel of a series ordered in 2019, at the CSSC Jiangnan Shipyard.
In a brief social media statement, the company said the vessel is expected to be delivered in mid-August 2021 and will be followed by four LNG-powered sisterships: CMA CGM Kimberley, CMA CGM Everglade, CMA CGM Galapagos and CMA CGM Greenland.
The CMA CGM Group noted it will have a fleet of 26 LNG containerships of various sizes by 2022.
