Through the CMA CGM Fund for Energies, CMA CGM is supporting the construction of Neoliner, the first ro-ro sailing ship to be built by the RMK MARINE shipyard for the shipowner Neoline, to be launched in June 2025 on transatlantic routes.
The 136-meter-long Ro-Ro vessel is equipped with two 76-meter high Solidsails folding carbon masts.
Thanks to its 3000㎡ of sails, developed by the "Chantiers de L’Atlantique", this vessel will emit 80% to 90% less greenhouse gases than a traditional vessel of comparable size, and virtually no SOx, NOx and particles.
The acquisition of a stake in Neoline will enable the Group to improve its knowledge of sail technology, a medium-term solution on the windiest routes.
