CMA CGM has launched the 13,000-TEU CMA CGM Osmium in South Korea, enhancing its fleet with a focus on sustainability and net zero carbon goals.
French shipping giant CMA CGM has christened its latest dual-fuel vessel, the 13,000-TEU CMA CGM Osmium, during a ceremony in South Korea, reports Rotterdam's Offshore Energy.
The ship was welcomed by Ma XunMin and Dorothee Regazzoni, Head of Territory BNP Paribas South Korea, who acted as godmother in line with maritime tradition.
CMA CGM stated that the Osmium will soon operate on the M2X service, linking Asia with Mexico. The company described the vessel as part of its fleet expansion supporting its net zero carbon 2050 target.
The naming follows the arrival of the first in a series of six 15,000-TEU methanol-powered ships, marking the French group's 400th owned vessel.
CMA CGM recently signed a final shipbuilding contract with India's Cochin Shipyard Limited for six LNG-powered containerships, further diversifying its alternative-fuel fleet.
