FRENCH carrier CMA CGM has added to its orderbook, contracting Samsung Heavy Industries for six LNG dual-fuelled 7,600 TEU ships worth a total of US$717.6 million.
All the ships will be deliver by November 2024, with Samsung Heavy now very close to filling out its docks through to 2025, reports Singapore's Splash 247.
The CMA CGM box fleet, the world's third largest, has recently broached the 3 million slot mark for the first time. The Marseille-headquartered firm has spent more on LNG dual fuelled tonnage than any other carrier.
Orders for new container shipping capacity have reached a record of above 3.5 million TEU so far this year, exceeding the previous high from 2007, according to UK consultants Drewry.
