CMA CGM has ordered six new liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels, each with a capacity of 15,000 TEUs, as part of its strategy to modernize its fleet and reduce carbon emissions in line with the International Maritime Organization's net-zero goal by 2050. The new ships are set to enhance capacity on major trade routes and improve service reliability, while the company continues to operate and expand its fleet of LNG-powered and low-carbon vessels. Despite the benefits of LNG, it remains a fossil fuel, serving as a transitional solution until cleaner alternatives are developed.
