CMA CGM is pleased to announce the delivery of the CMA CGM FIGARO, 8500 teus* containership
built by Samsung Heavy Industry.
The CMA CGM FIGARO is registered in France and will sail under the French flag (RIF).
In compliance with CMA CGM’s environmental policy, and like all new vessels of this
type ordered by the Group, the CMA CGM FIGARO is equipped with a combination of
innovative environmental features, including:
- the pioneering Fast Oil Recovery System, which enables bunkers to be rapidly recovered
at any time, hence significantly limiting the environmental consequences should
there be an incident at sea;
- an electronically controlled engine, reducing oil and fuel consumption by respectively
25% and 3%. Thanks to this new engine, the vessel can – if necessary – be operated
at super eco-speed (14 to 15 knots);
- a multi-chamber waste compactor to recycle garbage on board;
- pre-equipment to connect to a port’s electricity supply during operations.
Operated on the Asia to the Middle East Gulf trade, while volumes and freight rates
are recovering, this new vessel is a strategic asset for CMA CGM and proves the
Group’s ability to move forward in the current economic context.
The CMA CGM FIGARO has left the Samsung shipyard today at 8 am Korean time, and
sails to Tianjin, for phasing on CIMEX service on the following rotation : Tianjin,
Busan, Shanghai, Ningbo, Shekou, Port Kelang, Khor Fakkan, Jebel Ali, Bandar Abbas,
Port Kelang, Nansha, Tianjin.
