Further, we contact CMA-CGM to terminate its orders for 10 LNG-powered ships, considered that LNG is a significant resource of methane discharges, an environment extremely polluter.”

“While we are urged to see CMA CGM ultimately making financial investments in cleaner vessels with these methanol dual-fuel vessel orders, the business stays among the most awful environment culprits among container ship drivers. It has actually spent billions recently in lots of fossil gas powered newbuilds, consisting of 9 of the globe’s biggest LNG container ships.

Liquefied fossil gas is mostly methane, a greenhouse gas that catches 86 times much more warm on a brief as well as mid-term timespan than carbon dioxide.

Powering aquatic vessels with fossil gas is in between 70-82% even worse for the environment than company customarily. If CMA CGM wishes to be an environment champ, it has to finish its LNG newbuild program as well as spend completely in no discharges gas as well as vessels,” stated Kendra Ulrich, Shipping Campaigns Director as well as Ship IT Zero Campaign Lead atStand planet.
