CMA CGM has welcomed the latest LNG-powered vessel to its fleet, the CMA CGM Fort Diamant, which was delivered on November 18. Built by Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea, this vessel is the third in its series.

The CMA CGM Fort Diamant is a French-registered LNG-powered container ship, measuring 268 meters in length and 43 meters in width, with a gross tonnage of 73,000.

Earlier this year, CMA CGM took delivery of two other vessels from the same series, the CMA CGM Fort Bourbon and the CMA CGM Fort James. These ships also run on LNG and share similar specifications. The fourth and final ship in the series is scheduled to be delivered in January of next year.
