CMA CGM Is Prepared To Launch First Liner Operating On Methane This Coming May Hailing from France, the renowned container line CMA CGM is all set to introduce its very first liner run on methane in the month of May 2021. The French maritime organization is taking a huge leap by investing in an incredible quantity of 12,000 tonnes of biomethane fuel that will be sufficient enough to charge two LNG-powered vessels (weighing 1,400 teu each) for a whole year. The two LNG-powered ships will be operating between Rotterdam and St.Petersburg on the well-known Northern Balt3 line. CMA CGM is of the opinion that the proper utilization of biomethane will surely prove beneficial in diminishing greenhouse gas emissions by 67 percent, along with the powerful dual-fuel gas-power technology put to great use. The advent of low-carbon shipping in the maritime arena is a huge win for a well-established, global container line like CMA CGM in effectively reducing its carbon footprint.
