Hamburg call by LNG ULCV


The ‘CMA CGM Jacques Saadé’, currently one of the world’s largest containerships, has become the first ‘megamax’ class LNG containership to call at the Eurogate Terminal in Hamburg - taking the famous channel from the North Sea to the Port of Hamburg.

 

The ship sails in CMA CGM’s French Asia Line (FAL 1), which sets out from Tianjin Xingang in China and then calls at Busan, Ningbo, Shanghai, Yantian, Singapore, Le Havre and Hamburg. The return voyage commences in Le Havre and continues to Dunkirk, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Southampton, Algeciras, Port Klang and Tianjin Xingang.

 

The LNG-powered ‘Jacques Saadé’, the first of nine in a series, is 400 m long, 61 m wide and 78 m high. Its 18,600 cbm tank can take it on a 23,372 nautical mile voyage between Asia and Northern Europe.

 

Peter Wolf, CEO of CMA CGM Deutschland, said that the vessel symbolises “our sustainability goals and represents our pioneering role in shipping in regard to the use of LNG.”
