A New LNG-Fueled Container Ship Leaves Dry Dock in China

The new LNG-fueled container ship is over 300 meters long and more than 60 meters wide, marking the 8th unit to use liquefied natural gas, and will be part of the fleet of 26 eco-friendly vessels belonging to the shipping company.

CMA CGM Affirms Commitment to the Energy Transition of LNG Maritime Transport

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.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

James Webb finds a starless world with a rotation of only 2.4 hours, giant clouds of superheated sand, and auroras that heat the atmosphere to over 1,500 °C; a wandering object 20 light-years from Earth challenges even the definition of what a planet is.

Study reveals that El Niño is gaining strength in the Pacific, favoring the soybean crop in the United States in 2026 and increasing the risk of losses in Brazil due to excessive rainfall in the South and drought in the Midwest, a scenario that could affect global prices and agricultural exports.

The atmosphere of Venus is so dense that it managed to reverse the entire rotation of the planet over billions of years, a study published in Nature Astronomy reveals that being on the surface would be like sinking into an ocean of 475 degrees Celsius.

Government announces more than R$ 7 billion in investments in Amazonas on a single Wednesday, the package includes a controversial highway, energy for 75,000 people in communities, new ports, and the largest order in the Brazilian naval industry in a year.

Goodbye squeegee and cloth on the window: robot cleans windows by itself for up to 110 minutes, covers 55 m² per charge, and uses 12 layers of protection to prevent falling during cleaning.
