A long-term strategic collaboration on 'cold ironing' to broaden the use of onshore power supply for all fully-fitted cma CGM containerships at the Port of Shanghai. Significant improvement of air quality; reduction in CO2 emissions and noise expected. CMA CGM and SIPG's unwavering commitment to protect the environment and decarbonize shipping and logistics.
The CMA CGM Group, a global player in sea, land, air and logistics solutions, and Shanghai International Port (Group) Co., Ltd. ('SIPG') signed today a long-term strategic collaboration to develop the mass scale use of 'cold ironing' technology, the use of onshore power supply for containerships at the Port of Shanghai. From today all fully-fitted CMA CGM containerships calling at the port of Shanghai will systematically use the onshore power connection. By allowing ships to shut down auxiliary engines and use an onshore power supply while at berth, 'cold ironing' eliminates sulfur oxide, particulate matter, and nitrogen oxide emissions, significantly improving air quality while also reducing noise pollution.
In late November 2022, the CMA CGM Group and SIPG successfully completed the technical trial of the 'cold ironing' facilities of Yangshan Terminal in the port of Shanghai, which involved the CMA CGM Group's 13 982 TEU containership APL FULLERTON and several other vessels.
For newbuild and retrofitted vessels - an ambitious deployment
The Group's newbuild, most recent vessels are now equipped with the technology required to use 'cold ironing', and CMA CGM is conducting an extensive retrofitting program so other containerships can also use an onshore power supply. By the end of 2022, 13 CMA CGM vessels calling at the port of Shanghai will connect to the onshore power supply, and by mid-2023, this number will increase to reach 50.
Shipping and logistics' decarbonization as part of CMA CGM and SIPG's long term strategic partnership
Beyond significantly improving air quality and reducing CO2 emissions and noise pollution, this cooperation follows the successful pioneering of LNG simultaneous operation (SIMOPS) bunkering achieved in March 2022 in Shanghai, and represents yet another major milestone as part of CMA CGM and SIPG's strategic partnership to accelerate the shipping and logistics industry's decarbonization.
The CMA CGM Group is committed to achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2050 and intends to accelerate the energy transition in shipping and logistics, led by an enhanced energy mix.
By the end of 2026, the CMA CGM Group will have a fleet of 77 LNG powered vessels of various sizes. 32 ' bio and e -methane ready' vessels equipped with dual-fuel engines and LNG-powered are already in service. The engines deployed on these vessels already have the technical capability of using bio and e -methane, a source of carbon-neutral fuels.
In September, the CMA CGM Group announced the creation of a Fund for Energies, backed by a five-year,
