French liner CMA CGM and Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG) have signed
today a long-term strategic collaboration to develop the mass scale use of cold ironing
technology, the use of onshore power supply for containerships at the Port of Shanghai.
From today all fully-fitted CMA CGM containerships calling at the port of Shanghai will
systematically use the onshore power connection.
CMA CGM’s newbuilds, and most recent vessels are now equipped with the technology
required to use cold ironing, and CMA CGM is conducting an extensive retrofitting
program so other containerships can also use an onshore power supply. By the end of
2022, 13 CMA CGM vessels calling at the port of Shanghai will connect to the onshore
power supply, and by mid-2023, this number will increase to reach 50.
Ludovic Renou, CEO of CMA CGM China, commented: “CMA CGM is steadfastly
committed to installing more environmentally responsible solutions on board our
vessels, the group supports cold ironing and we will continue to equip our fleet
accordingly.”
