Maersk opts for bio-methanol for its climate neutral vessel operation

28-02-2021 | Denmark-based ship operators A.P. Moller - Maersk will operate the world’s first carbon neutral liner vessel by 2023 – seven years ahead of its 2030 ambitions. Maersk has developed a roadmap plan for climate neutral (net zero emission) operation by 2050. All future Maersk owned new buildings will have dual fuel technology installed, enabling either carbon neutral operations or operation on standard very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO).

Maersk’s methanol feeder vessel will have a capacity of around 2000 TEU and be deployed in one of its intra-regional networks. While the vessel will be able to operate on standard VLSFO, the plan is to operate the vessel on carbon neutral e-methanol or sustainable bio-methanol from day one.
