The Jacques Saadé class is a group of nine container ships each with a capacity of 23,000 TEUs built by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) for French shipping company CMA CGM.

Construction on the first two began in July 2018 in Shanghai by Jiangnan Shipyard and Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding.

[4][5] CSSC and CMA CGM signed a contract to produce the ships on 19 September 2017.

[4][5] The second ship CMA CGM Champs Elysees was delivered on 27 October 2020 after a delay of at least 10 months.

The decision to use LNG as a fuel is in anticipation of the upcoming 2020 IMO regulation limiting sulfur emissions.
