CMA CGM URAL is a large Malta-flagged containership built by New Times Shipbuilding in China in 2015 and operated within the global CMA CGM liner network.
At almost exactly 300 metres in length, the vessel belongs to the generation of approximately 9,000-TEU ships developed for major intercontinental routes while remaining flexible enough to operate across several CMA CGM services.
CMA CGM URAL has retained her original name throughout her career and remains fully active in 2026.

Nearly 300 Metres Long
CMA CGM URAL measures:

48.20 metres.
Although smaller than today's 20,000+ TEU mega-containerships, she remains a substantial mainline vessel capable of carrying approximately:

Different Published Tonnage Figures
The original PiraeuShips database recorded:
95,793 GT
and:
113,800 DWT.
Those figures are consistent with earlier ship registers.
More recent maritime databases give approximately:
96,704–96,793 GT
and:
116,422 DWT.
For the updated profile, it is useful to preserve both sets because the older figures accurately represent the data available when PiraeuShips filmed the ship.
MAN B&W Propulsion
Propulsion is provided by a:
MAN B&W / Hyundai 9S90ME-C9
low-speed diesel engine.
Published power is approximately:
47,430 kW.
Historical specifications quote a maximum or design speed of approximately:
22 knots.
As with most modern containerships, actual operating speeds are normally lower due to slow-steaming and fuel-efficiency requirements.

PiraeuShips Record
CMA CGM URAL was recorded at Piraeus by PiraeuShips in 2019 during the early years of the containership's career with CMA CGM. Built by New Times Shipbuilding in China and delivered in February 2015, the almost 300-metre vessel has a nominal capacity of approximately 9,200 TEU and is powered by a 47,430-kW MAN B&W low-speed diesel engine. The ship has retained both her CMA CGM URAL name and Malta registry throughout her career and remains fully active in 2026 on international Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Asian liner services. Recent records continue to include Piraeus among her ports of call, giving the original PiraeuShips footage continuing relevance within the vessel's active career.
