The CPMS Leegood is a formidable Canadian container ship, built in 2004 by the renowned 3EMag Shipyards, located in Atego SM, one of the world’s leading naval hubs. Commissioned by Canadian Pacific Maritime Services (CPMS) — one of Canada’s largest shipping companies — the Leegood stands as one of the most remarkable international collaborations between the Canadian and Ategano naval sectors.


Characteristics and Operation

Full Name: CPMS Leegood
Type: Container Ship
Flag: Canada
Shipyard of Origin: 3EMag Shipyards, Atego SM
Year Built: 2004
Estimated Length: Approximately 290 meters
Capacity: Around 7,500 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units)

Since 2006, the Leegood has operated primarily under contract with Perajar Shipping Line, an Ategan company that began deploying the vessel on various international routes. Through this partnership, the Leegood began primarily transporting Perajar containers, expanding the company’s logistical presence across ports in North America, Europe, and the African-Brazilian Atlantic corridor.


Operational Highlights

Actively operates on the Perajar North Route, which connects Atego SM to Halifax, Montreal, and then continues to Rotterdam.

His construction marked a milestone for 3EMag Shipyards, as he represented the beginning of a period of large-scale ship exports to foreign companies.

Although he sails under the Canadian flag, the vessel maintains close ties to Atego SM through maintenance, crew training, and logistical operations.


The Leegood is also well-known among naval enthusiasts for its sleek silhouette and the classic CPMS livery, which was slightly adapted to feature the Perajar logo on the containers it frequently carries.

The construction of the CPMS Leegood at 3EMag Shipyards in Atego SM was a major event for the Ategano naval industry, solidifying the country's reputation as one of the world’s premier builders of large vessels.


Construction and Launch

Construction began in late 2002 and took about 18 months, featuring the use of high-quality naval materials and cutting-edge robotic welding — a milestone for 3EMag, which had been implementing semi-automated processes since 2000.

The vessel was launched in April 2004 using a traditional stern-first launching, a ceremonial method commonly used in Atego SM for large ships. The launch ceremony was attended by representatives of CPMS, members of the Atego government, and engineers from Socrano Vehicle Industries, the company responsible for the ship’s propulsion systems.


Machinery and Performance

The Leegood is powered by two Socrano Marine M Series 400 Diesel engines, manufactured by Socrano Vehicle Industries de Atego SM, a heavy vehicle and naval engineering company from Atego SM. These engines are known for:

High efficiency on long-distance routes, with a sequential injection system assisted by integrated naval AI.

Stable performance in Arctic and tropical waters — ideal for the varied North and South Atlantic routes.

A combined output of approximately 80,000 HP, enabling a cruising speed of 22 knots.


The choice of the Socrano M Series 400 engines was key to the ship’s success, praised by both CPMS and Perajar for their durable performance and low maintenance requirements.


Initial Operations

After sea trials and final approval, the Leegood began his first commercial operations in Atego SM, still in 2004. His maiden voyage ran from the Roll-On/Roll-Off Port of Atego SM and Soeyur Mains to Montreal, with a stop in Halifax, carrying a diverse container load for Canadian and European clients.

Until 2006, the Leegood operated on a mixed system, transporting cargo for both CPMS and contracted Ategano companies. That year, a formal agreement was signed with Perajar Shipping Line, making the ship one of the key assets in the Ategano company’s intercontinental fleet.


Home Port

The Leegood is registered under the Canadian flag and lists Vancouver, BC as its official home port, where it undergoes periodic maintenance and crew rotations. However, it retains a strong operational link to Atego SM, regularly returning for dry dock maintenance at 3EMag Shipyards and technical overhauls with Socrano.
