In Denmark, Ship and Bunker reports that Maersk expects to order its first carbon neutral fueled ships in 2023, likely dipping its toes into the waters with smaller container ships while it feels its way around new alternative fuels. By focusing on smaller vessels that can operate in a certain geographic area, the company can […]
In Denmark, a study by A.P. Moller – Maersk and Lloyds Register confirms that the best opportunities for decarbonizing shipping lie in finding new sustainable energy sources. Based on market projections, the best positioned fuels for research and development into net zero fuels for shipping are alcohol, biomethane, and ammonia. “The main challenge is not […]
In Denmark, A.P. Moller – Maersk is rolling out a flagship project with Switzerland-based RSB to pass emissions savings from its use of alternative fuels on to its clients, with retail giant H&M among the first to benefit. RSB is developing a ‘book and claim’ system that will allow Maersk to reliably and credibly pass […]
In Denmark, a new carbon neutral product – the first of its kind in the industry – is being piloted with select Maersk customers who are highly engaged in sustainable solutions for their supply chain. H&M Group is the first company to trial it as part of the shift towards carbon-neutral transportation. The biofuel in […]
In Denmark, A.P. Moller-Maersk Mette’s Captain released video of their historic voyage running on biofuel. The Mette vessel reached Hong Kong, the half way point in their trial.

Maersk said in their press release, “an acceleration in new innovations and adaption of new technology is required. Climate is one of the most important issues in the world, and […]
In Denmark, Maersk is developing two projects to create biomass-based marine fuels using lignin. One of the projects involves a partnership with Progression Industry, and the other involves DONG Energy and is co-funded by the Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation. If Progression Industry can make a lignin-based fuel that meets Maersk’s criteria, Maersk has promised […]
In Virginia, Maersk and the U.S. Navy are testing algae-based biofuel on the container ship Maersk Kalmar currently en route from Germany to India. The 300 meter-long container ship has a dedicated auxiliary test engine, which reduces the risks of testing, and its fuels system includes biofuel blending equipment and separate tanks. The biofuels test […]
