  Maersk to hold naming ceremony for third large methanol-fuelled boxship

  

  Container shipping and logistics firm AP Moller- Maersk is holding a naming ceremony for its third large boxship to run on methanol. 

  The company is holding a naming ceremony for the ship in Aarhus on Thursday, the company said in a Linkedin post. "This vessel is one of 18 large dual-fuel newbuilds capable of sailing on green methanol, scheduled for delivery between 2024 and 2025," the company said in the post. 

  Maersk Maersk has been a significant backer of methanol as a bunker fuel since announcing that all of its new ships would be capable of running on zero-carbon fuels. But on Wednesday the firm announced that some of its new ships would be running on liquefied gas instead, going back on previous skepticism towards LNG.
