France’s CMA CGM is boosting its container ship orderbook by inking deals for neo-panamax tonnage at a South Korean shipyard, chartering in recently ordered tonnage and signing letters of intent (LOIs) for ultra-large container ships in China.
Shipbuilding sources said CMA CGM has returned to Samsung Heavy Industries and ordered four LNG dual-fuel 7,400-teu boxships for delivery dates starting in 2024.
