CMS's largest named

CMA CGM’s largest vessel, the 17 722- TEU Kergeulen, was christened in the Paris port of Le Havre last week. Named after the French explorer Yves Joseph de Kerguelen de Tremarec (1734-1797), she is the first of six vessels of the same size that will enter the CMA CGM fleet in 2015. The ship’s godmother, Catherine Hayot – who founded the metal trading group GBH – broke the traditional bottle of champagne against the vessel’s hull as she named it.
