       法国达飞海运有限公司（CMA CGM）旗下的15000 TEU液化天然气（LNG）动力集装箱船系列中的第一艘——“CMA CGM Patagonia”号——已在上海江南造船（集团）有限责任公司（CSSC Jiangnan，以下简称江南造船）下水。

 

       该船于2019年订购，定于8月中旬交付，是达飞轮船投入使用的一批新型箱型船之一，这些船使用更清洁的燃烧LNG燃料，以减少航运排放。

 

       在三年前宣布将采用LNG之后，达飞轮船已经订购了几艘燃气动力船，现在公司计划在2022年前拥有26艘该类型船舶，为减少海运污染的做出更多努力。目前已有一些船舶已经投入使用，包括23000 TEU的“CMA CGM Jacques Saadé”号，该船是世界上最大的LNG动力集装箱船系列中的第一艘。

 

       紧接“CMA CGM Patagonia”号之后的将是一系列姊妹船“CMA CGM Everglade”号、“CMA CGM Galapagos”号和“CMA CGM Greenland”号。 

 

       为了应对从2020年初开始实施的更严格的船舶硫排放规定，许多船东改用了LNG作为燃料。LNG燃料实际上是不含硫的，可以显著减少颗粒物和氮氧化物（NOx）的排放。同时，使用LNG作为燃料还能减少温室气体的排放。

 

       达飞轮船是全球第四大集装箱航运公司，运营着约500艘船舶。该公司已表示，其目标是在2050年前实现碳中和。

CSSC Jiangnan Launches LNG-fueled Box Ship for CMA CGM

 

CMA CGM Patagonia, the first in a series of 15,000 TEU liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered containerships for French shipping company CMA CGM, has been launched at the CSSC Jiangnan shipyard in Shanghai.

 

Ordered in 2019 and due for delivery in mid-August, the vessel is among a fleet of new box ships being put into service by CMA CGM that run on cleaner burning LNG fuel as a means to reduce shipping emissions.

 

After announcing three years ago that it would adopt LNG, CMA CGM has made several orders for gas-powered ships and now plans to have 26 such vessels operating by 2022 as part of efforts to reduce pollution in ocean shipping. A number of the vessels are already in service, including the 23,000 TEU CMA CGM Jacques Saadé, the first in a series of world's largest LNG-powered containerships.

 

CMA CGM Patagonia will be followed by sister vessels CMA CGM Kimberly, CMA CGM Everglade, CMA CGM Galapagos and CMA CGM Greenland.

 

Many shipowners have turned LNG fuel in response to tougher rules on vessel sulphur emissions that took effect at the start of 2020. LNG fuel is virtually sulphur free and can significantly reduce particulates and NOx emissions. It can also help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

 

CMA CGM, which is the world's fourth-largest container shipping company and operates about 500 ships in total, has said it aims to become carbon neutral by 2050.
