Containerships, a specialist in Intra-Europe and also a subsidiary of the CMA CGM Group, a globe leader in delivery and also logistics, delights in to introduce it took distribution of its 4th container ship powered by melted gas (LNG), the 1,380-TEU (Twenty- foot Equivalent Unit) CONTAINERSHIPS ARCTIC.

Containerships’ 4th LNG ship: CONTAINERSHIPS FROZEN

After the effective intro of its 3 sis ships, the CMA CGM Group took distribution of the CONTAINERSHIPS ARCTIC on December 10th, 2019.

Once it will certainly have made its means from Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard to Europe, the vessel’s very first LNG bunkering will certainly be accomplished in Rotterdam.

There, it will certainly sustain an approximate of 200 statistics lots of melted gas by means of ship-to-ship bunkering. The ship will certainly after that be phased right into CMA CGM’s Baltic feeder solutions, prior to signing up with Containerships’ BALT-1 short-sea line in very early 2021.

A Group devoted to environmentally-friendlier worldwide financial exchanges

A leading intra-European service provider, Containerships was the very first European driver to make use of LNG as the primary gas resource, consisting of sea and also land transport. The CONTAINERSHIPS ARCTIC will completely match Containerships’ cutting-edge and also lasting multimodal transport profile. This creates an essential component of the CMA CGM Group’s ecological approach.

Thanks to its enthusiastic ecological campaigns, CMA CGM Group has actually decreased its CARBON DIOXIDE discharges per container transferred by 50% in between 2005 and also 2015 and also has actually established a brand-new decrease target of an extra 30% by 2025. This will certainly be accomplished with a variety of leading campaigns:

• An introducing dedication to using melted gas (LNG) for big ability vessels. LNG decreases sulphur oxide and also great particle discharges by 99%, nitrogen oxide discharges by approximately 85% and also CARBON DIOXIDE discharges by about 20%. By completion of 2022, the CMA CGM Group will certainly have about 20 LNG-powered vessels;
• CMA CGM has actually made a decision that none of its vessels will certainly make use of the Northern Sea Routes in order to protect the breakable and also one-of-a-kind environments of theArctic CMA CGM was the very first Group worldwide to make this dedication, which rated and also complied with by several stars in the maritime sector;
• The globe’s very first collaboration to efficiently evaluate a latest-generation biofuel, made from recycled veggie oils and also woodland deposits, that decreases CARBON DIOXIDE discharges by 80% over the whole life process. The examination was accomplished in collaboration with IKEA;
• The advancement of many sophisticated eco-technologies on the Group’s fleet to boost its efficiency and also minimize power usage: optimization of bows’ form for far better hydrodynamic effectiveness, technologies on the props and also the engines to minimize gas and also oil usage;
• The development of a Fleet Center to which all the Group’s vessels (506) are linked 24-hour a day, 7 days a week; this one-of-a-kind system in the maritime transportation sector makes it feasible to enhance delivery paths in order to incorporate functional effectiveness, safety and security and also gas usage optimization, hence decreasing CARBON DIOXIDE discharges.
