Maersk secures methanol supply for first dual-fuel containership
DANISH shipping giant Maersk has secured the green methanol fuel for the maiden voyage of its first dual-fuel containership under construction in South Korea, reports Ventura, California's gCaptain.
Under an agreement, OCI Global (Euronext: OCI) will supply Maersk with the ISCC certified green biomethanol for the ship's maiden voyage this summer to Northern Europe via the Suez Canal. The vessel will bunker at several major ports along the way, including Rotterdam.
The vessel, currently under construction at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, will be supplied with ISCC certified green biomethanol by OCI Global, a leading green methanol supplier. The ship is set to embark on its maiden voyage this summer, travelling to Northern Europe via the Suez Canal and bunkering at major ports along the way.
The 2,100-TEU feeder ship is the first of 19 carbon-neutral green methanol-powered ships that Maersk has on order. The vessel will operate on the Baltic. The other 18 dual-fuel ships will be much larger - 16,000 and 17,000 TEUers - with deliveries in 2024 and 2025.
