Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. delivered the CMA CGM VENDOME, a 24,000 TEU LNG-powered megaship, 8.5 months ahead of schedule. This vessel, measuring 399 meters in length and 61.3 meters in width, highlights the shipyard's technical prowess and efficiency, and symbolizes the progress in next-generation maritime logistics. The vessel's advanced LNG fuel tank enables nearly 20,000 nautical miles of emission-reduced operation, making it one of the greenest ships of its type. This delivery marks Hudong-Zhonghua's 100th containership and the 14th LNG dual-fuel vessel built for CMA CGM, underscoring ongoing Sino-French collaboration in green shipping. The achievement was made possible by breakthroughs in steel welding, new lashing bridge structures, and digitalized construction technologies. With production booked through 2028, Hudong-Zhonghua remains a leader in high-end, environmentally friendly shipbuilding. The CMA CGM VENDOME now joins sister vessels CMA CGM Seine and CMA CGM Saint-Germain, furthering CMA CGM’s decarbonization efforts.
