CMA CGM and Electrolux ink 40,000 TEU green shipping deal

The Swedish multinational home appliance manufacturer Electrolux has chosen CMA CGM’s Cleaner Energy LNG solution for 40,000 TEU shipments of household appliances in 2022.

CMA CGM said the partnership is built on market economics for low carbon solutions to accelerate the energy transition in shipping.

The French carrier’s low-carbon offering will allow the cargoes to be shipped on CMA CGM’s dual-fuel LNG-powered container vessels, while also benefitting from a share of guarantee of origin biomethane, allowing a 25% reduction in CO2 emissions on a well-to-wake basis, according to a statement.

“With the largest fleet of e-methane ready vessels already deployed, the CMA CGM Group is able to help shippers like Electrolux make significant strides in de-carbonising shipping,” said Laurent Olmeta, CEO of CMA CGM Asia Pacific, and added, “As more shippers move their cargoes on sustainable fuels through our range of ACT with CMA CGM+ solutions, we are building on the economics for alternative fuels to accelerate the energy transition in shipping.”

Carsten Franke, Electrolux’s chief operations officer, commented, “These partnerships put Electrolux at the forefront in terms of the percentage of the total volume of products being transported in a more sustainable way. As we continuously contract increasing volumes of biofuel for sea transportation we are also supporting the overall market development toward more sustainable practices for shipping goods across the world.”

CMA CGM Group and Electrolux announced the conclusion of an agreement to ship 40,000 TEUs of household appliances through CMA CGM’s Cleaner Energy LNG solution. Virtual signing by Laurent Olmeta and Carsten Franke.
