As informed, the delivery ceremony was held together with the naming ceremony on April 9, 2024. The vessel, which was designed by China Shipbuilding Group’s 708th Research Institute, has a total length of 336 meters, a molded width of 51 meters, and a molded depth of 26.8 meters.
The containership has a designed service speed of 21 knots and a maximum load capacity of 13,200 TEUs. It incorporates an LNG dual-fuel power system and is equipped with a 14,000 cubic meter LNG cargo tank with Mark III-type cargo containment system.

According to the shipbuilder, the intelligent control by exhaust recycling (iCER) system installed onboard the ship could reduce methane slip in gas mode by 50% and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by more than 28%. The ship is specially equipped with a huge bow windshield, which could save 2%-4% of fuel consumption during actual operation.
Additionally, an energy-saving device is installed at the stern of the ship, that is expected to improve propeller propulsion efficiency and reduce energy consumption by about 1,5%.
To remind, the ship was launched in September last year.
Another 13,000 TEU containership CMA CGM Belem was launched in January this year at Hudong-Zhonghua.
The 13,000 TEU containerships are part of CMA CGM’s $2.3 billion dual-fuel, LNG-powered containership order from April 2021.
Meanwhile, the French shipping heavyweight returned to Chinese shipyards with a massive order worth $3.06 billion in April 2023 with a contract with the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) for the construction of 16 large container ships.
The order comprises twelve 15,000 TEU methanol dual-fuel and four 23,000 TEU LNG dual-fuel container vessels.
