Livré en mai 2026 par un chantier chinois, ce géant de l'armateur marseillais CMA CGM navigue sous pavillon français. Et il détient déjà plusieurs records !

Avec une jauge brute de 236 800 GT, il partage avec son navire jumeau, le CMA CGM Pantheon, le record de taille en volume parmi les porte-conteneurs.

Le MSC Irina conserve toutefois le record du nombre de conteneurs transportables, avec seulement 134 EVP supplémentaires !

Mais le véritable exploit du Notre Dame se cache dans ses réservoirs.

18 600 m³ de gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) lui permettent d'effectuer une rotation entre l'Asie et l'Europe sans utiliser de fioul lourd.

Lors de son voyage inaugural, le navire a également réalisé un avitaillement record en bio-GNL, un carburant susceptible de réduire fortement les émissions de gaz à effet de serre selon son mode de production.

Et CMA CGM ne compte pas s'arrêter là !

Dix navires de cette classe sont prévus entre 2026 et 2028, tous baptisés en hommage à des monuments français : Notre Dame, Pantheon, Orsay, Versailles, Pont Neuf…

L'armateur a même recruté 135 marins français pour accompagner cette montée en puissance de sa flotte sous pavillon tricolore.

Reste une question : peut-on encore construire plus grand ?

Pas forcément. Entre les limites des canaux, les dimensions des ports et la hauteur des grues, la course au gigantisme maritime semble approcher de son plafond.

Désormais, la bataille entre les grands armateurs pourrait surtout se jouer sur les carburants : GNL, méthanol, ammoniac ou carburants de synthèse.

This proves the vessel crunch is real. But a Treasury waiver doesn't clear a class survey or restore P&I cover. Paper licenses don't fix rusted steel.
Oil traders are seeking approval from the US government to use some tankers that were sanctioned for their involvement in shipping illicit oil, in an effort to address a vessel crunch and lower prices.

At least four companies, including Trafigura Group, Vitol Group, Mercuria Energy Group Ltd., and Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. are in discussions with US officials for licenses that would allow them to purchase or lease some ships that are blacklisted by the US government, according to people with knowledge of the matter. #oott bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Elon Musk spent almost $450m (£334m) – more than anyone ever has in an election cycle – to back Republican candidates in the US midterm races. It was not enough to keep Democrats from a resounding victory.

A tanker carrying 11,000 tons of sunflower oil is drifting off Bulgaria after its towline broke in bad weather. It was already damaged by an attack off Odesa.

Bridge rule: a damaged ship on a tow is a casualty waiting to happen. Weather must dictate the tow, not the schedule.

Bloomberg: Stark is designing 24-metre uncrewed boats to hunt Russia's shadow fleet.

Sanctions are a piece of paper; these boats are the enforcement mechanism. Europe is moving from tracking the dark fleet to physically stopping it.

The blockade is going robotic.

Citi keeps Maersk at 'neutral' but raised its target to kr25K. Yet the broader street isn't convinced: 8 holds, 9 sells, only 2 buys. Analysts see the rate spike, but doubt the long-term demand.

Bridge rule: a raised price target is not a charter. Follow the physical freight, not the analyst.
