CMA CGM Antoine de Saint Exupery is a container ship that is operated by French shipping company CMA CGM. As the lead ship of her class, she is the flagship of CMA CGM's fleet and the largest container ship to sail under the French flag.[2]

Named after the French author and aviator, Antoine de Saint Exupery was ordered in April 2015 as the first of three sister ships from Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction Philippines.[2] She was launched in August 2017, and after fitting out underwent sea trials in late December 2017 and early January 2018.[3] She was delivered to CMA CGM on 25 January 2018, ahead of her entry into service on 6 February on a routing from southeast Asia to northern Europe.[4]

Antoine de Saint Exupery measures 217,673 gross tons, and is 400 metres (1,300 ft) long, with a beam of 59 metres (194 ft) and a draft of 16 metres (52 ft) (33 metres (108 ft) from deck).[2][1] She is powered by a Winterthur Gas & Diesel model X92 low speed diesel engine, with a power output up to 73,560 kilowatts (98,650 hp) that can propel her at up to 22 knots (25 mph).[5] She has a capacity of 20,776 TEUs.[1]
