The Cape Scott (IMO 9950117) is a sophisticated, 2023-built container ship that represents the latest generation of mid-sized maritime transport. Operating under the Portuguese flag and managed by the renowned Columbia Shipmanagement, this 189-metre vessel is a vital workhorse for the CMA CGM fleet, specifically designed to bridge the gap between major global hubs and regional markets. With a deadweight of over 34,000 tonnes and a capacity of 2,713 TEU, the Cape Scott is particularly notable for its high-specification refrigerated cargo capabilities, featuring 700 reefer plugs to transport perishables across its frequent routes between South America and the Mediterranean. As a modern addition to the seas, it combines fuel efficiency with the rugged versatility required to navigate both the Panama Canal and the busy ports of Southern Europe.
