2024 will not start easily.

🚢Maersk continues its fleet renewal program with planned orders and charter contracts of 800,000 TEU. The vessels come in different sizes offering great network flexibility. To support our commitment to decarbonisation, all vessels will be dual-fuel and able to operate on low emissions fuel. “Our fleet renewal program is fundamental to maintaining competitive edge in our ocean business, and it is a cornerstone in decarbonising our operations. As the shipyard orderbooks have been filling up quickly and lead time for vessel deliveries have increased significantly, we decided to place orders and charter contracts of 800,000 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent) dual-fuel vessels, which ensures a steady flow of needed capacity for our network for the years 2026-2030 while building a competitive toolkit,” says Rabab Boulos, Chief Operating Officer at Maersk.

Thrilling news in the maritime world! 🚢 Last month marks the naming ceremony of A.P. Moller - Maersk 's first large methanol-enabled container vessel, "Ane Mærsk," at the HD Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard in Ulsan, South Korea. This groundbreaking vessel, honoring Ane Mærsk Mc-Kinney Uggla, Chair of the A.P. Moller Foundation, signifies a major stride in sustainable shipping solutions. 🌍 Ane Mærsk leads a fleet of 18 vessels joining Maersk between 2024 and 2025. As the world’s second methanol-enabled container vessel, it's set to embark on its maiden voyage using green methanol, a key element in Maersk's low-emissions strategy. 🚀 Distinguished by an innovative design, placing the bridge and accommodation at the front for superior fuel efficiency, Ane Mærsk is scheduled to operate on the AE7 string connecting Asia and Europe from February, marking a significant leap in Maersk's climate ambitions. Vincent Clerc , CEO of A.P. Moller-Maersk, affirms, "This vessel series will transform our commitment to a more sustainable industry. 'Ane Mærsk' and its counterparts expand offerings for businesses aiming to reduce emissions in their supply chains."

Hello fam, I will be sharing an article ending of next month on the Gemini Cooperation (An alliance between Maersk line and Hapag Llyod). Here is the synopsis of the article. The Gemini cooperation: A great competition for MSC in liner shipping. Introduction: 2M( Maersk and MSC), The 2M split, Formation of Gemini Fleet size of these liner operators, their trade routes and investment in liner shipping. Conclusion: What the partnership will bring to global shipping, port investment. Recommendation: What can MSC do, Invest more into fleet size or terminal operations, intermodal transport (rail), achieving strategic fit. #Geminicooperation #linershipping #article

The question being asked: under their new Gemini Cooperation agreement, will Hapag-Lloyd AG and A.P. Moller - Maersk operate vessel slot-sharing similar to what we've seen with the alliances? , I am thinking this new cooperation agreement will function differently and each carrier will operate more independently. If so, I like it – I feel operations are more responsive to shippers needs if  individual carriers are sailing their own ships, making their own schedules and routes, without having to consult with their competitors in the alliance.

Suez Canal Container Terminal Welcomes Maersk's Methanol-Enabled Astrid Maersk Shipping Arabia, June 14, 2024 — The Suez Canal Container Terminal (SCCT) celebrated a landmark event in maritime innovation by receiving the Astrid Maersk, a significant addition to Maersk's fleet and one of the first 18 methanol-fueled vessels under the company’s green initiative.
