CMA CGM takes delivery of 13,300 TEUer, joins Asia-Europe loop

TROUBLED French shipping giant CMA CGM received the 13,300 TEU Christophe Colomb, the first of eight newbuildings of this size, ordered from South Korea's DSME (Daewoo) yard back in 2007.

The ship has been assigned to world's largest liner loop, the Maersk-CMA CGM joint Far East-Europe AE-7/FAL7 service, and will join the Maersk 'E'-class vessels, with its average weekly capacity of 14,400 TEU, reports AXS Alphaliner. It has 10 ships including eight 15,200 TEU vessels, said the Paris-based agency.
