French liner giant CMA CGM's flagship LNG-fuelled containership has started taking on LNG bunkers in the Port of Rotterdam in what will be the largest LNG bunkering operation carried out to date.

Total's 18,600-cbm Gas Agility is shown alongside the 23,000-teu newbuilding CMA CGM Jacques Saade on Thursday.

CMA CGM said its boxship, which has an 18,600-cbm membrane-type bunker tank, will be refueled with LNG while port handling operations remain underway.
