Jiangnan hands over LNG-fueled CMA CGM Maui

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

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

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

Prior to this vessel, Jiangnan delivered CMA CGM Grace Bay in May and CMA CGM Cape Cod in April.

Jiangnan said it expects to deliver the remaining two vessels by September 2024.

Jiangnan and Hudong-Zhonghua are each constructing 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.

Also, 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.
