A.P. Moller \u2013 Maersk (Maersk)\u2019s methanol-enabled container vessel, <\/p>\n

\u2018Ane Maersk\u2019, has arrived at Eurogate Container Terminal Hamburg for the first <\/p>\n

time on its maiden trip from Asia to Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Maersk\u2019s<\/p>\n

The \u2018Ane Maersk\u2019 is the first of its kind to use methanol as fuel and makes <\/p>\n

a port call in Hamburg.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Axel Mattern, CEO of Port of Hamburg Marketing, remarked: \u201cAne Maersk\u2019s <\/p>\n

arrival at the Port of Hamburg underscores the maritime sector\u2019s swift progress <\/p>\n

towards climate neutrality. It reflects the Port of Hamburg\u2019s commitment to <\/p>\n

carbon neutrality.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Ane Maersk boasts a novel ship design, with the bridge superstructures <\/p>\n

at the very front of the bow, and is 350 metres in length and 53.5 metres wide. <\/p>\n

This was reportedly necessary to compensate for the cargo room loss caused by <\/p>\n

the bigger tanks that were required.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Methanol contains around half the energy content of fossil oil. This means <\/p>\n

that almost twice as much gasoline is required.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ane Maersk is powered by ecologically friendly bio-methanol, which emits <\/p>\n

around two-thirds fewer greenhouse emissions than fossil fuels (ultra-low <\/p>\n

sulphur oil).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Synthetically manufactured e-methanol might lower emissions by more than 90 <\/p>\n

per cent in the future. E-methanol production plants are now under development, <\/p>\n

with the first located at Aabenraa in Denmark, just across the German <\/p>\n

border.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Maersk will also get green e-methanol from the European Energy <\/p>\n

manufacturing facility, which is scheduled to start operations this summer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Due to the restricted supply of green methanol worldwide, \u2018Ane Maersk\u2019 and <\/p>\n

her sister ships may also run on biodiesel or fossil ultra-low sulphur oil <\/p>\n

thanks to dual fuel technology.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Maersk has a further 23 methanol-capable newbuildings (9,000 to 17,000 TEU) <\/p>\n

in the works till 2027. Methanol has the benefit of being non-toxic and simple <\/p>\n

to use as a maritime fuel. The \u2018Ane Maersk\u2019 is assigned to Maersk\u2019s Asia-Europe <\/p>\n

liner service (AE-7).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The containership will call at 14 ports in the following order: Ningbo, <\/p>\n

Shanghai, Nansha, Yantian, Tanjung Pelepas, Colombo, Tangiers, Felixstowe, <\/p>\n

Hamburg, Antwerp, London, Le Havre, Tangiers, Khalifa Seaport, Jebel Ali <\/p>\n

(Dubai), and Ningbo.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 14 vessels, with capacities ranging from 15,300 to 19,100 TEU, require <\/p>\n

98 days to complete a round voyage, avoiding the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, and <\/p>\n

the Cape of Good Hope. The Ane Maersk is scheduled to leave Hamburg for Antwerp <\/p>\n

on 30 March 2024.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Recently, the Ane Maersk, recently completed its inaugural port call at the <\/p>\n

Port of Colombo.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
