Maersk to celebrate shipping first

[ April 27, 2023   //   ]

Maersk will host a week of festivities in Copenhagen on 18-21 September to celebrate the arrival of the world’s first container vessel sailing on green methanol.

The 2,100teu, 17.4-knot dual-fuel feeder vessel  will outside the Danish operator’s headquarters on her way to her sphere of operations in the Baltic Sea. The vessel will bring experience for Maersk seafarers in operating the new type of fuel, ahead of the arrival of a fleet of new, large ocean-going dual-fuel engine powered ships from 2024.

The 172-meter-long vessel is due to leave the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in Korea in summer en route to Copenhagen.
