CMA CGM vessel classed with Indian Register of Shipping

Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) has announced that CMA CGM Vitoria, a 2,592 TEU vessel operated by CMA CGM, one of the world’s leading container shipping lines, has been successfully classed with IRS. This milestone marks a significant achievement in IRS’s growing engagement with major global shipping companies and reinforces its standing as a trusted and recognised classification society on the international stage. CMA CGM’s decision to work with IRS reflects the strong technical expertise, high standards of service and commitment to excellence that IRS consistently delivers, it emphasised in a communique. Commenting on the development, Mr P. K. Mishra, Managing Director of IRS, said, “We are delighted to have the trust of CMA CGM, a global leader in container shipping. This collaboration is a testament to IRS’s growing global footprint and our unwavering focus on providing world class services to the shipping industry”. As IRS continues to expand its reach among top-tier international operators, this collaboration further underscores its capability to support the evolving needs of the global maritime sector, the communique added. CMA CGM is the first major foreign carrier to register a containership under the Indian flag. On April 28, 2025, the vessel had been welcomed at JN Port’s Nhava Sheva Freeport Terminal in the presence of Mr Shantanu Thakur, Union Minister of State for Ports, Shipping and Waterways, and other key dignitaries.
