CMA CGM christens one of the world’s largest container ships
CMA CGM Group will christen its 9,415 TEU container ship, the CMA CGM MEDEA, at the Terminal de France, Port 2000, in Le Havre today at 16h00.
Under French flag, the CMA CGM MEDEA is the Group’s 86th company-owned vessel in a fleet of 278, and is one of the largest container ships in the world. The CMA CGM MEDEA is a sister ship of the CMA CGM FIDELIO, RIGOLETTO, and NORMA, all 9,400 TEU vessels.
The new ocean-going giant can carry 9,415 twenty-foot containers stacked over 18-high.
Deployed on the Group’s new express service linking Asia and Europe – the French Asia Line 2 – the CMA CGM MEDEA will call on the ports of Ningbo, Shanghai, Yantian, Hong Kong, Port Kelang, Le Havre, Rotterdam, Hamburg and Zeebrugge.
This new service offers CMA CGM customers additional calls from the main ports of Asia, most notably Shanghai and Ningbo as well as Port Kelang for service to all markets in Southeast Asia.
