Maersk orders dual fuel ships

COSCO Shipping increases its methanol stake with a US$ 2.15bn order for twelve new dual-fuel container ships.

A.P. Moller Maersk christened the Alette Maersk, its fourth dual-fuel methanol container ship, a 350-meter vessel with over 16,000 TEU capacity, built in South Korea.

With its new status at IMO, MI will now be able to attend meetings as an observer and offer expert input on discussions in plenary and working groups.

Maersk has announced a massive fleet renewal plan, including a turn to bio-LNG as it hedges its bets on multiple fuel options.

As methanol becomes an increasingly popular option for achieving carbon reduction in ocean shipping more ports are turning their minds to providing the bunkering infrastructure to meet demand.

The successful test of the first 200 kW HT PEM fuel cell system marks a key milestone in advancing maritime industry decarbonisation technology.
