The vessel was constructed and projected by Samsung Heavy Industries, according to the latest marine engineering developments and IMO shipping standards.

[1] CMA CGM Kerguelen has main engine MAN B&W 11S90ME-C9.2, which has total output power of 87,900 hp at 78 rpm.

The engineering on board is equivalent to that of 10 A380 airbus reactors and the electricity, which the generators provide, is enough for a city with 16,000 citizens.

The main engine has electronic injection system, which is from latest generation, considerably reduces consumption of fuel (-3% on average) and for oil (-25%).

The wisted leading edge rudder improves the vessel's hydrodynamics (optimizing water flow), significantly reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
