The CMA CGM company emphasized, through one of its digital platforms, that this is “a new proof of our commitment to the energy transition of LNG maritime transport, a pioneering technology aimed at preserving air quality.”

The Palais Royal is the third container ship of the nine LNG-fueled ships in the series, which has a capacity for over 20,000 TEUs, and will gradually enter service over the next few years. These LNG-fueled ships will be registered under the French International Registry and will be named after monuments and tourist attractions in Paris.

About the Company Responsible for the LNG-Fueled Ship

The company was founded in 1996, stemming from the merger of two companies, Compagnie Maritime d’Affrètement and Compagnie Générale Maritime. CMA CGM is the world’s third-largest maritime company, operating over two hundred routes among more than 400 ports in over 100 countries.

With CMA’s opening in Shanghai in 1992 during its first ship call in China, the company consolidates a project that began in 1986 to expand maritime trade in Asia.
