The latest contract follows similar deals for CMA CGM vessels, including a series of nine 23,000 teu vessels.
"At CMA CGM we are committed to promoting sustainability in all our operations… The choice of dual fuel gas vessels powered by LNG for our new ships is part of our commitment to build a zero-carbon future,” said Xavier Leclercq, Vice-President of CMA SHIPS.
Håkan Agnevall, President and CEO, Wärtsilä Corporation, said: “Both CMA CGM and Wärtsilä have a common strategy in applying LNG solutions to prepare the way towards carbon free shipping.”
