INNOVATIVE SHIPS
The CMA CGM Marco Polo will soon be followed by the delivery of the CMA CGM Alexander Von Humboldt and the CMA CGM Jules Verne in May and June 2013, all three carrying the following equipment:
- An electronically controlled engine which significantly reduces CO2 emissions
- An “Exhaust Gas Bypass” system, which improves the energetic efficiency of the vessel when slow steaming, reducing CO2 emissions by 1.5% at low speeds.
- A twisted leading edge rudder improving the hydrodynamics of the vessel (optimisation of the water flow) and significantly reducing energy expenditures as well as CO2 emissions.
- A Pre-Swirl Stator® which straightens the water flow upstream from the propeller in order to improve its efficiency. Combined with the twisted leading edge rudder, this innovation optimizes the hydrodynamics of the vessel and makes it possible to reduce by 2 to 4% energy consumption of and atmospheric emissions.
- An optimized hull design significantly improving the propulsion of the vessel into the water.
- A ballast water treatment system, to preserve the biodiversity of the oceans.
Other innovations show the commitment of CMA CGM regarding its vessel fleet which include the Fast Oil Recovery System, the emergency towing system, the trash compactor combined with the sorting of recyclables and additional tanks for treating bilge, engine and grey waters.
CMA CGM Group is also working with shipyards and ranking agencies such as Bureau Veritas and DNV on several projects of LNG-fuelled containerships.
O2 REDUCTION
As part of its environmental policy, the CMA CGM Group is committed to reducing its emissions (CO2, sulfur), to limit the impact of its activities.
In 2012, the CO2 performance of the Group improved by 6%. Since 2005, the Group has reduced its CO2 emissions by 37% per container transported and per km, making it the most impressive reduction in the history of the industry and is aiming for a reduction of 50% by 2015.
In order to cut back its sulfur emissions, it chooses to use a fuel of a higher quality than required by the current regulation, with sulfur concentration estimated at 2.57% (or lower in certain areas), instead of 3.5%.
