CMA CGM conducted out its first LNG bunkering operation in Spain together with energy companies Enagás and Repsol.
Conducted at the beginning of May, it was the first pipe-to-ship LNG bunkering operation on a containership at Enagás’ regasification plant in Cartagena terminal.
Specifically, the vessel named Borealis, owned by CMA CGM’s intra-European subsidiary Containerships, was bunkered in this operation. This very first marks the extension of our LNG infrastructure solutions for the LNG-powered fleet, that will count 44 ships by 2024, said CMA CGM.
To achieve this aim, CMA CGM selected Wärtsilä to supply a range of solutions for its newbuild LNG containerships and support its maritime decarbonisation operations.
In March this year, CMA CGM also took part in China’s first ship-to-ship LNG simultaneous operation (SIMOPS) bunkering, marking a major step in the energy transition.
