France’s CMA CGM has joined a growing number of containership operators investing in tonnage by directly ordering newbuildings with shipyards.
China State Shipbuilding Corp (CSSC) disclosed that the liner giant has contracted three state-owned shipyards to build 22 containerships.
The orders involve 12 dual-fuel neo-panamax boxships and 10 panamax vessels.
"This order aims at accommodating market growth," the Marseilles-based liner giant said.
