The CMA CGM Group subsidiary Containerships recently announced it took delivery of the Containerships Arctic on 10 December, 2019.
The 1,380 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) Containerships Arctic is the firm’s fourth containership powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG).
The vessel’s first LNG bunkering will be carried out in Rotterdam once it will have made its way from Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard. The ship will receive approximately of 200 metric tonnes of LNG via ship-to-ship bunkering at Rotterdam.
Thereafter, the ship will then be phased into CMA CGM’s Baltic feeder services. In early 2021 it will be joining Containerships’ BALT-1 short-sea line.
In efforts towards environmental initiatives, CMA CGM Group has reduced its CO2 emissions per container transported by 50% between 2005 and 2015 and has set a new reduction target of an additional 30% by 2025.
