The newest containership giant, being built for French shipping major CMA CGM, has been launched at a shipyard in the Philippines.
The 20,600 TEU containership CMA CGM Louis Bleriot was launched by the Subic-based shipbuilder Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction – Philippines (HHIC-Phil) on April 21.
