CMA CGM Group to build six LNG-powered containerships at Cochin Shipyard

Global shipping and logistics operator CMA CGM Group on Wednesday said it has signed a letter of intent for six LNG-powered containerships to be built at Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) in line with its fleet renewal and energy transition strategy. This strategic move makes the Group the first major foreign carrier to commission LNG vessels from an Indian shipyard, the company said, adding that the containerships will be delivered from 2029 to 2031. All six vessels will be registered under the Indian flag, each with a capacity of 1,700 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units), it said. This demonstrates CMA CGM's commitment to a more sustainable shipping as it can run on LNG and are ready for low-carbon fuels, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the Group's ambition to be Net Zero Carbon by 2050, the company said. The project at Cochin Shipyard will also be run with the technical cooperation of Korean shipbuilder HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, it said adding this
