Damen Shipyards and CMA CGM Collaborate for Vessel Efficiency Upgrades

will focus on installing bulbs on the vessels' bows to improve fuel efficiency by over 10%. This marks the first time CMA CGM will utilize European yards for such complex modifications, having previously relied on Chinese and Middle Eastern shipyards. The collaboration also includes additional upgrades such as propeller enhancements and silicone paint applications, aiming to achieve further fuel savings and reduce emissions. Furthermore, three vessels will be equipped for shore power access, aligning with CMA CGM's commitment to cleaner operations. This endeavor underscores a joint commitment to environmental sustainability and maritime efficiency.
