CMA CGM Orders French-Made BWT Systems for 20600 TEU Newbuildings

French container line CMA CGM has turned to a compatriot water treatment supplier for ballast water treatment systems to be installed on three of its 20,600 TEU newbuildings.

The only French ballast water treatment supplier BIO-SEA by BIO-UV will design and supervise the installation of the three WTS BIO-SEA2100 (2100m3/h) systems on the ULCVs currently under construction at Hanjin Heavy Industries Corporation Philippines.

The giant ships will be 400 meters long, 59 meters wide, and are slated for delivery in 2017.

CMA CGM placed an order for the three boxships back in March.
