CMA CGM to expand its fleet by 14 with new orders

摘要

CMA CGM has confirmed for the first time the full extent of a newbuilding programme that could expand the carrier's fleet capacity by up to 14%. The French line has six 16,000 teu ships on order - in addition to three vessels of that size already in service, plus 10 vessels of 9,200 teu and three 2,100 teu vessels. Although brokers have known about the orders for some time and reports have emerged in the media, CMA CGM has kept quiet until now. However, in a statement to Lloyd's List, CMA CGM has confirmed the details of the ships on order and their capacities.
