EU Commission President Names Landmark Methanol Vessel “Laura Mærsk”
The 2,100 TEU (twenty-foot-equivalent) feeder vessel, Laura Maersk is an
important step toward the long-term objective of gradually renewing the entire
Maersk fleet to operate solely on green fuels. Maersk has 24 additional
methanol vessels on order for delivery between 2024 and 2027 and a policy to
only order new, owned vessels that come with a green fuel option.
