CMA CGM subsidiary Containerships has taken delivery of its fourth LNG-powered container ship, the 1,380-TEU CONTAINERSHIPS ARCTIC.

After the successful introduction of its three sister ships, the CMA CGM Group took delivery of the CONTAINERSHIPS ARCTIC on December 10th, 2019. Once it will have made its way from Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard to Europe, the vessel’s first LNG bunkering will be carried out in Rotterdam. There, it will fuel an approximate of 200 metric tons of liquefied natural gas via ship-to-ship bunkering.

The ship will then be phased into CMA CGM’s Baltic feeder services, before joining Containerships’ BALT-1 short- sea line in early 2021.
