On July 25th, the second 24000TEU LNG dual fuel ultra large container ship "CMA CGM PANTHEON" built by our group Yangtze Xinfu Shipbuilding for CMA CGM departed from the shipyard terminal and began its maiden voyage.
Review of Construction Process
Based on the mature construction experience accumulated from the first ship, the Yangtze Xinfu project team has continuously optimized the construction production pace and upgraded the core installation technology of the membrane cabin since the ship started construction in February 2025. During the project promotion period, the supervision team of Dafei Ship stayed on-site and cooperated deeply throughout the entire process, while the French Classification Society strictly controlled the entire inspection process. All frontline workers have overcome difficulties, achieved high-quality and efficient completion of the new ship, and continued to maintain the advantage of early performance and delivery. This ship was delivered 71 days ahead of the contract delivery date. The naming ceremony for the new ship was held on July 21st. Ms. Wang Xiao, the designated person, Mr. Cyril Krotoff, Deputy Director of Dafei New Shipbuilding, Mr. Eren Ersin, Operations Director of French Classification Society, Mr. Yang Xueyan, Deputy General Manager of our group and General Manager of Yangzi Xinfu, as well as representatives of project related partners and other leaders and guests attended the ceremony.

Ms. Wang Xiao named the new ship "CMA CGM PANTHEON" and cut cables, threw champagne, and sounded the whistle for the new ship.
Everyone wishes that this brand new giant ship will be fully loaded with expectations and beautiful visions from all parties, sail through the waves, and sail far into the ocean, carrying full business opportunities and honors for the shipowner and all partners. I also wish all crew members on board a smooth voyage and safe entry and exit. The signing ceremony for the delivery of the CMA CGM PANTHEON vessel was held on July 21st.
