History

edit

CSSC and CMA CGM signed a contract to produce the ships on 19 September 2017. The value of the contract was worth an estimated US$1.2 billion at the time.[6][7]

Construction of the first two ships began on 26 July 2018.[1] The first ship, CMA CGM Jacques Saadé, named after the founder of CMA CGM Jacques Saadé, was launched in September 2019.[2] The first ship was originally expected to be delivered in November 2019,[1] but it was delivered on 22 September 2020 [3] after a delay of at least 10 months by China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC).[4][5] The second ship CMA CGM Champs Elysees was delivered on 27 October 2020 after a delay of at least 10 months.[1][8] The ships are registered in Marseille.[citation needed]

Specifications

edit

The vessels will be 400 metres (1,312 ft 4 in) long, 61.3 metres (201 ft 1 in) wide, and 33.5 metres (109 ft 11 in) deep. They will each have a deadweight tonnage capacity of 220,000 DWT.[1]

The engines are the 12X92DF, designed by engine designer WinGD, fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG). The decision to use LNG as a fuel is in anticipation of the upcoming 2020 IMO regulation limiting sulfur emissions.[18][19][needs update]
