CMA CGM has marked a significant milestone in maritime decarbonization with its first dual-fuel methanol vessel, CMA CGM IRON, making its maiden call at the Port of Singapore.
The 13,000 TEU vessel is the first of twelve new generation containerships being built by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries, with the complete series scheduled for deployment through 2025 and 2026.
The vessels will operate alongside CMA CGM’s existing fleet of dual-fuel gas-powered ships. The initiative demonstrates CMA CGM’s commitment to achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2050. The vessel will serve on the CIMEX1 route connecting Asia to the Middle East Gulf region.
