Maersk marked a significant achievement with the arrival of the large methanol-enabled vessel “Astrid Mærsk” at Yangshan Port in Shanghai.
This milestone event signifies the inaugural green methanol bunkering alongside cargo and bunkering operations in China, facilitated through collaboration with the Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG).
As Maersk commemorates a century of serving China’s foreign trade, the event highlights the company’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions in the maritime sector and acknowledges its extensive history of cooperation with partners and stakeholders involved in Chinese international trade.
“For a century, Maersk’s conviction to facilitating global supply chains has been the driving force behind our active contribution to China’s foreign trade, with substantial investments in infrastructure, services, and people. As we continue to pioneer sustainable practices, the deployment of large methanol-enabled vessels in the Asia-Europe trade showcases both rich heritage and the beginning of an exciting new era based on strong partnerships. For the energy transition to succeed, we need to go together, and we are working closely with dedicated partners like SIPG, customers, industry peers and regulators to cross the next frontiers in making green ocean transport the easy choice,” stated Vincent Clerc, CEO of A.P. Moller-Maersk.
