CMA CGM operates 26 dual-fuel ships under Ocean Alliance
As part of its commitment to the shipping industry’s energy transition, the CMA CGM Group already operates 26 dual-fuel, liquefied natural gas-powered ships, under the aegis of Ocean Alliance. The CMA CGM Group’s entire e-methane ready fleet will expand to 77 ships by year-end 2026.
Since 2017, CMA CGM has chosen to invest in dual-fuel vessels that run on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and allow to almost fully reduce atmospheric pollutant emissions. This represents a first step in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The engine installed on these vessels is already capable of using Bio-LNG from bio-methane (-67% in CO2 emissions) or synthetic methane (including e-methane).
