CMA CGM Confirms Order for 9 Mega Ships


CMA CGM, the world's third largest container shipping firm, said it expected operating profits to improve further in the second half as the market continues to recover, and confirmed an order for nine giant vessels.
 
The announcements by French-based CMA CGM underlined a recovery in the industry this year after a prolonged downturn that sparked a series of consolidation deals.
 
In a second-quarter results statement on Friday, CMA CGM said its board had approved an order for nine container ships, each with a capacity of 22,000 20-foot equivalent unit containers (TEU), which will start service from the end of 2019.
