Vessel Description

The CMA CGM CHIWAN is a large container vessel operated by CMA CGM S.A., one of the world's leading container shipping lines headquartered in Marseille, France. Built in 2002 by Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, South Korea, the vessel is named after the Port of Chiwan in Shenzhen, China, reflecting CMA CGM's strong commercial ties to South China trade routes.

With a capacity of approximately 6,627 TEU, the vessel was considered a large-scale container ship at the time of its delivery and has served on major East-West trade corridors throughout its operational life. The ship sails under the Bahamian flag and is registered with MMSI 311001150.

The vessel is powered by a MAN B&W 10K90MC-C main engine, a proven two-stroke slow-speed diesel engine widely used in vessels of this class during the early 2000s. Its service speed of approximately 25 knots reflects the design philosophy of the era, prior to the widespread adoption of slow steaming practices.

The CMA CGM CHIWAN forms part of CMA CGM's broader fleet strategy connecting major Asian manufacturing hubs to European and global consumer markets.
