In mid-April, the container mega-ship CMA CGM Seine set off on its first major voyage. The LNG-powered giant is currently the largest of its kind in the world. It is questionable whether such environmentally friendly dual-fuel container mega-ships have a future.

The CMA CGM Seine has a length of 399 meters and a width of 61.3 meters. The ship can carry 220,000 tons of cargo. This corresponds to 23,876 standard containers (TEU), of which 2,200 are for refrigerated cargo. (Video to the picture see below)(Image: Mega Ship's videos/excerpt YouTube)

When a ship is as long as four soccer pitches and stacks containers as high as a 25-storey skyscraper, a few people even stop and marvel on the shore. This is what happened when the "CMA CGM Seine" left Shanghai a few days ago for its first major voyage.
