Higher costs and undersupply remain the biggest concerns for shipping companies seeking to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by switching to green methanol.
Danish logistics company Maersk has ordered 25 vessels that can run on sustainably produced e-methanol. Its first large methanol container ship, Ane Maersk, arrived at Jebel Ali port in Dubai last week.
Maersk says the ship can save up to 280 tonnes of carbon dioxide per trip.
“When we look at the expansion of the order book for the global fleet - Maersk vessels plus the rest of the industry - it seems to be the fuel source of choice,” said Christopher Cook, regional head of Maersk.
