How Sustainability and Innovation Are Reshaping the Shipbuilding Industry
Shipbuilding companies are increasingly focusing on developing environmentally friendly vessels to expand their customer base and increase sales. Among these innovations are green container ships designed to minimize environmental impact and reduce carbon emissions. For example, in April 2023, Maersk A/S introduced a green methanol-powered container ship with a capacity of 2,100 TEU. This vessel is the first of nineteen planned carbon-neutral ships that will operate using green methanol fuel. Maersk has secured suppliers to provide approximately 1 million metric tons of green methanol annually to power this fleet, which is expected to avoid around 2.3 million metric tons of CO2 emissions each year compared to conventional fuel-powered vessels.
