The electric barge will operate on a 180-kilometre round trip between Nike’s inland drop-off location in Ho Chi Minh City, formerly part of Binh Duong province, and the Gemalink terminal. According to CMA CGM, the vessel is designed to transport more than 50,000 TEUs annually. The service is expected to avoid approximately 778 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year while producing no direct greenhouse gas emissions during operation.
