Total Will Supply LNG to CMA CGM’s Future Containerships in Marseille - Seite 2

¹ TEU: Twenty-foot Equivalent Units. 15 000 EVP ≈ 15 000 containers

	LNG fuel, the best solution available to reduce the environmental footprint of maritime transport
	A true technological breakthrough in the service of environmental protection, LNG is now the best available and technologically proven solution to significantly reduce the environmental footprint of maritime transport. Compared to ships currently powered by fuel oil, its use results in a reduction of:

 

• 99% of sulphur oxide emissions;
• 99% of fine particles emissions;
• Up to 85% of nitrogen oxide emissions;
• About 20% of greenhouse gas emissions.

The Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), which measures a ship's environmental footprint, improves by 20% compared to a conventional vessel. The result is a reduced carbon footprint and improved air quality, especially for people living near the coast and in port cities.

 

In December 2017, CMA CGM and Total had already signed a strategic procurement contract for the LNG-powered 23,000-TEU vessels ordered by the CMA CGM Group which are scheduled to enter service starting next year.

 

The first in this series, the CMA CGM JACQUES SAADE, the world's first ultra-large capacity LNG-powered container ship, was launched on September 25, 2019.

 

For its part, last month Total launched its first LNG supply ship, intended to supply CMA CGM's 23,000-TEU vessels in Rotterdam.
