In North Carolina, Maersk announced the successful bunkering of Tangier Maersk, a dual-fuel alcohol-enabled container vessel, using U.S.-produced corn ethanol. The operation marked the first ship-to-ship commercial ethanol bunkering of a deep-sea container vessel in the United States. The milestone is part of Maersk’s broader efforts to explore multiple potential fuel pathways for the future […]
In Denmark, the Maersk McKinsey Moller Center for Zero Marine Shipping issued a report showing how owner-emissions energy carriers for hard-to-abate sectors like shipping are available but unlikely to scale in the absence of regulations that make them cost-competitive. This has led to some criticism of potential greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations for shipping on the […]
In Denmark, Maersk successfully completed the first sailing on 100% ethanol during Q1 2026. Ethanol offers another scalable, lower-emission fuel option for decarbonization and the successful trial using 100% ethanol underscores the potential to create greater optionality for Maersk’s dual-fuel methanol fleet. Maersk’s current low-emission fuel portfolio includes bio- and e-methanol, and biodiesel. From 2027, […]
In Denmark, the Financial Times reports the CEO of Maersk hopes that by focusing on ethanol as a way to decarbonize shipping that in turn stands to benefit US and Brazilian farmers, versus green methanol where China would be the biggest winner, climate sceptics such as US President Trump might be swayed to support green […]
In Denmark, Maersk continues to explore options to diversify its low-emission fuel portfolio by testing ethanol in a dual-fuel methanol engine. Building on a successful initial trial, the company will now blend 50% ethanol with 50% methanol in a test onboard the vessel Laura Mærsk. The first trial, conducted in October and November, involved a […]
In South Korea, HD Hyundai and A.P. Moller – Maersk (Maersk) announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a collaboration on decarbonization solutions for vessels, while HD Hyundai plans to expand the use of Maersk’s integrated logistics services across its affiliates. Since 2021, HD Hyundai has received orders for a total […]
In Louisiana, C2X LTD and ENEOS Corporation jointly announced a combined investment in C2X of $100 million from ENEOS and existing shareholders A.P. Møller Holding and A.P. Møller – Mærsk. The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions including applicable regulatory clearances. The proceeds from the investment will primarily be used to […]
In Sweden, Climeon announced delivery of six HeatPower 300 units to HD Hyundai Heavy Industries’ shipyard in South Korea, where they will be integrated into A.P. Moller-Maersk’s 17,200 TEU dual-fuel methanol ships to convert low-temperature engine waste heat into clean electricity, improving energy efficiency and cutting fuel consumption. The HeatPower 300 system utilizes an Organic […]
In India, Economic Times reports A.P. Moller-Maersk has entered early talks with Indian green fuel producers, including NTPC Green Energy, to source methanol for its growing fleet of dual-fuel ships, the Copenhagen-based shipping giant announced. With 25 dual-fuel vessels ordered, Maersk is advancing its 2040 net-zero emissions goal by transitioning to bio and e-methanol alongside […]
In Singapore, Manifold Times reports MAN Energy Solutions will retrofit 10 additional Maersk vessels to run on methanol fuel, following the successful conversion of the Maersk Halifax earlier this year. The retrofit allows ships to operate on green methanol, reducing carbon emissions by up to 90%. The project supports Maersk’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions […]
