CMA CGM Zheng He is an Explorer class containership built for CMA CGM.[1] It is among the world's largest containerships, at 16,020 TEU.[2]
The ship was built by Shanghai Jiangnan Changxing Heavy Industry, the same shipyard that built sister ship CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin.[3] At the time of its launch it was the longest ship built on hull in China.[3]
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.
