Jiangnan delivers LNG-fueled CMA CGM Laguna

Chinese shipbuilder Jiangnan has delivered the LNG-powered containership, CMA CGM Laguna, to French shipping giant CMA CGM.

The CSSC-controlled shipbuilder announced the delivery of the 336 meters long and 51 meters wide vessel in a statement issued on Tuesday.

This is the six and last 15,000-teu LNG-powered containerships Jiangnan built for CMA CGM.

Prior to this vessel, Jiangnan delivered CMA CGM Big Sur in August, CMA CGM Maui in July, CMA CGM Grace Bay in May, and CMA CGM Cape Cod in April.

Jiangnan and Hudong-Zhonghua each built six LNG-powered ships for CMA CGM as part of a deal revealed in April 2021, but the six vessels at Hudong-Zhonghua have a capacity of 13,000 units.

Hudong-Zhonghua recently delivered the sixth vessel, CMA CGM Amazonia.

The new LNG-powered vessels feature GTT’s Mark III containment system and WinGD’s dual-fuel propulsion.

The vessel’s LNG tanks have a capacity of 14,000 cbm.
