In brief

About CMA CGM Zheng He

Full article ↗

CMA CGM Zheng He is an Explorer class containership built for CMA CGM. It is among the world's largest containerships, at 17859 TEU.
The ship was built by Shanghai Jiangnan Changxing Heavy Industry, the same shipyard that built sister ship CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin. At the time of its launch it was the longest ship built on hull in China.
It is the second CMA CGM ship to be named for Zheng He as CMA CGM Marco Polo was originally named for the Chinese explorer.

In context

How CMA CGM Zheng He compares

Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

At 178,228 gross tons, CMA CGM Zheng He is the 287th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 30 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.

Among the 3,881 container ships held here, it ranks 142nd by tonnage — larger than 96% of that group. Their median tonnage is 33,698 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 140,096 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Liberia (498 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with 348 hulls on record.

Malta is the country of registry for 2,640 vessels in this directory, of which CMA CGM Zheng He is the 13th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (1,614 ships), and the median vessel measures 23,204 GT. Browse every ship flagged Malta.

Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 154 container ships flying the Malta flag, of which 8 are larger by tonnage.

CMA CGM Zheng He was built in 2015, making it 11 years old. It is one of 1,804 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 25,303 GT; within it this ship is the 20th largest. Across the whole of the 2010s the registry holds 20,111 vessels, median 23,456 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.

The registry attributes 186 vessels to Jiangnan Shipyard, with a median tonnage of 36,438 GT, delivered between 1973 and 2025. See the rest of that yard’s output.

At 399.2 m overall, CMA CGM Zheng He is 177.6 m longer than the 221.6 m median for container ships on record, with a beam of 51.0 m and a draft of 16.0 m.

IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9706906 this registry holds 54 other vessels, whose median build year is 2015 and which range from 1959 to 2023. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2015.

Its IMO number, 9706906, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 7×6 + 0×5 + 6×4 + 9×3 + 0×2 = 156 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
