**French** container shipping firm **CMA CGM** has taken delivery of a large dual-fuel LNG container ship.

The **24,000 TEU** capacity ship _CMA CGM Grand Palais_ was named in a ceremony last week, the company said in a **LinkedIn** post on **Thursday**.

The vessel has been built by **China State Shipbuilding Corporation**'s subsidiary, Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding.

It has a total of **18,600 m3** LNG storage capacity and features dual-fuel engines from **WinGD**.

CMA CGM has been investing across multiple fuel pathways, operating both LNG- and [methanol-capable vessels](https://shipandbunker.com/news/apac/973921-cma-cgm-names-new-dual-fuel-methanol-boxship-in-south-korea) as it diversifies its marine fuel strategy.

The latest delivery follows an order [confirmed last month for six LNG-fuelled container ships](https://shipandbunker.com/news/world/897933-cma-cgm-confirms-order-for-six-lng-fuelled-boxships-with-indian-shipyard) at **India’s Cochin Shipyard**.

However, LNG is composed primarily of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, which can undermine its overall emissions advantage versus conventional marine fuels.

Bio-LNG offers a lower-carbon alternative and can be used as a drop-in fuel in existing dual-fuel LNG vessels, potentially improving lifecycle emissions performance as supply scale
