CMA CGM, facing economic troubles that threaten the carrier’s financial stability, took delivery Tuesday of one of the world’s largest container ships, a 13,300-TEU behemoth that will become the company’s flagship. The CMA CGM Christophe Colomb is an energy-efficient vessel coming in at 1,198 feet long, 168 feet wide, and with a draft of 51 feet. … The French Line said it will deploy the ship on the Asia- Europe trade in a vessel-sharing agreement with Maersk Line, which will provide the other nine vessels on the service.
