据电力新闻报道，全球最大的航运公司A.P.穆勒-马士基公司(A.P. Moller-Maersk) 7月1日在一份公司声明中表示，该公司已与韩国现代Mipo造船厂签署协议，将建造一艘能够使用甲醇或极低硫燃料油(vllsfo)航行的支线船舶。
这个项目是马士基公司在2023年前运营世界上第一艘碳中和船计划的一部分。
声明补充称，这艘船将由碳中和甲醇提供动力，预计将于2023年年中前交付给马士基公司。 它将拥有装载2100个20英尺等量单位(TEU)的能力，并将部署在波罗的海航运线上，悬挂丹麦国旗。
A.P.穆勒-马士基公司船队技术主管Ole Graa Jakobsen表示：“开发这艘碳中和船是一个重大挑战，但为了实现这一里程碑，我们与船厂和制造商的合作已经取得了很大进展。”
他补充道：“虽然我们正在为我们的行业开创这些解决方案，但我们将使用成熟的技术，进一步扩大规模的成本潜力变得非常明显。”
