HHLA TK Estonia receives CMA CGM’s newest boxship

On 21 and 22 April, HHLA TK Estonia received the newest container ship of the French ocean carrier CMA CGM, CMA CGM Mermaid, which was completed in early 2024.

The new generation ship uses liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel, and thanks to the innovative design its CO2 footprint is 20% smaller than usual.

In total, CMA CGM ordered ten new generation feeder container vessels with a capacity of 2,000 TEUs, which will sail both in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean.

These additions to CMA CGM’s fleet are integral to the company’s extensive fleet modernization initiative, which has seen investments exceeding US$15 billion. With a fleet comprising around 620 vessels, including 30 already utilizing alternative energy sources, CMA CGM is aiming to transition nearly 120 ships to low carbon emissions marine fuels by 2028.

CMA CGM Mermaid and its sister ships are being built at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) in Busan, South Korea. The ship is 204 meters long and 29.6 meters wide.

“We went to welcome the captains of the CMA CGM Mermaid on board during the ship’s first voyage, and we were introduced to the ship’s interior as well as its streamlined shape. Reducing emissions is the focus of both shipowners, ports and terminal operators, and more environmentally friendly technologies are constantly being sought. Launching CMA CGM Mermaid in the Baltic Sea is undoubtedly a trend-setting step in the industry,” stated Riia Sillave, the chairman of the board of HHLA TK Estonia.
