First crossing of CMA CGM VENDOME at Suez Canal
The Suez Canal witnessed the transit of the first giant container ship of the CMA CGM VENDOME type on its maiden voyage through the canal, as part of the (3 FAL) shipping line service that connects Asia with Europe. The vessel, operated by the "OCEAN Alliance," is 399.9 meters long and 61.3 meters wide, with a capacity to carry 24,000 TEUs (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units). It is equipped with an 18,600 cubic meter liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel tank, enhancing its capabilities for long-distance journeys. This milestone comes within the framework of efforts to reinforce the central role of the canal in global trade, especially amid increasing geopolitical challenges and the reliance on the canal as a key route that reduces transit time and conserves fuel.
