FRENCH shipping giant CMA CGM has reiterated its commitment to the environment on the
occasion of World Environment Day, the company announced.
The world's No 3 shipping company
behind Maersk and MSC, is accelerating its actions in 2019 to protect the
environment, the Marseilles-based company said.
"The group is firmly committed
to the reduction of its carbon footprint and has implemented numerous
initiatives to make its fleet more eco-friendly. In recent years, the group has
introduced many innovations to reduce the carbon footprint of its
vessels," said the press release.
"The group has achieved a 50
per cent reduction in CO2 emissions per container transported per kilometre
between 2005 and 2015. It has achieved a further 17 per cent reduction between
2015 and 2018, in line with its 2025 objective of -30 per cent." it said.
Testimony to its ambition for the
energy transition of the maritime industry, the group has become a pioneer in
the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel. This energy source
reduces CO2 emissions by up to 25 per cent, sulphur and fine particles
emissions by 99 per cent and nitrogen oxide emissions by 85 per cent.
Since 2018, the group has thus taken
delivery of its first two LNG-powered vessels and it will receive a total of 20
LNG-powered containerships by 2022, including nine 22,000-TEU vessels to be
delivered from next year.
