CMA CGM took delivery of the CMA CGM Figaro, a new containership with a nominal capacity of 8,500 20-foot equivalent units, built by Samsung Heavy Industries at its shipyard in South Korea.
The CMA CGM Figaro is registered in France and will sail under the French flag on the carrier's CIMEX service from Asia to the Middle East.
CMA CGM said that, like all new vessels of this type it has ordered, the new ship is equipped with a combination of features designed to reduce its environmental impact.
The CMA CGM Figaro left the Samsung shipyard en route to Tianjin, where it will be phased into the CIMEX service on the following rotation: Tianjin, Busan, Shanghai, Ningbo, Shekou, Port Kelang, Khor Fakkan, Jebel Ali, Bandar Abbas, Port Kelang, Nansha and back to Tianjin.
