The ship was named CMA CGM Amazonia and delivered on August 23, marking the end of Hudong-Zhonghua’s shipbuilding project for the French company.
Like its sister vessels, CMA CGM Amazonia is 336 meters long and 51 meters wide, with a designed service speed of 21 knots and a maximum cargo capacity of 13,200 TEUs.
Additionally, the containership comes with a huge wind deflector at the bow, which could save 2% to 4% of fuel consumption during actual operation.
Furthermore, an energy-saving deflector is installed at the stern, which can improve the propeller propulsion efficiency, reduce energy consumption by about 1.5%, and reduce carbon dioxide gas emissions.
