Vestas’ Post

🛳 Her name is ANE MÆRSK 🎉. Our first large methanol-enabled vessel was named today at a ceremony in the shipyard of HD Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, South Korea. The vessel is named after Ane Mærsk Mc-Kinney Uggla, the Chair of the A.P. Moller Foundation and A.P. Moller Holding. Ane’s eldest granddaughter Astrid served as godmother and christened the vessel by breaking a champagne bottle over the bow 🍾. The ceremony was hosted by our Chairman Robert Maersk Uggla.   The first ANE MÆRSK 🛳 Consistent with the tradition of naming Maersk vessels after members of the founding family. Ane Mærsk Mc-Kinney Uggla is the granddaughter of A.P. Møller, who founded A.P. Moller - Maersk in 1904. A.P. Møller was succeeded by Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller, the father of Mrs. Uggla. It is the first time that a Maersk vessel has been named after Ane Uggla, and thus our new vessel will not only be the first large container vessel sailing on green methanol, it will also be the first ANE MÆRSK.   Vessel fun facts: 📏350 meters long, 53.3 meters wide 📦16,592 TEU (twenty-foot-equivalent). 🔋 The engine is a Dual Fuel type, meaning it can run on methanol as well as traditional marine fuels. The same applies to the auxiliary engines. MAN Energy Solutions   L-R Front Row/Centre   Kisun Chung Vice Chairman & CEO HD Hyundai, Ane Mærsk Mc-Kinney Uggla the Chair of the A.P.

We are glad to share a first-hand look at ShoreLink Cruise Cable Management System in action at Alesund Norway Cruise Port and Plug | Shore Power & Maritime Charging. Watch the video showcasing the cruise shore power connection and hear directly from shore power operators Benedikte Ester Haukeland Vatne and Sjur Aurdal about their experience. 🔌 Job Excitement and Satisfaction Benedikte Ester Haukeland Vatne finds her job exciting, noting, “I enjoy working with these machines; they are one of a kind! The consumption from cruise ships is very high, and I feel importance to make the environment better and greener by plugging these into our electrical power in Ålesund. The most exciting part must be the coordination of everything onshore.” Sjur Aurdal shares this enthusiasm, stating, “Everything from inside the facility to the machines we operate on the port and how the ship’s systems work is just, wow!” ⚓ Ease of Use and Safety Benedikte mentions, “For me, it’s rather easy to operate the machines, but for new people, it will be a learning process. You definitely learn as you go, as with everything else in this world.” Sjur emphasizes the importance of safety, noting, “There are so many failsafe systems and sensors that make it feel like if you do something wrong, the machines would tell you! Safety has been the number one concern when the machines were constructed. I am just happy we have this kind of machinery to assist us with the connections, as I’ve heard some of our colleagues at other ports have it quite a bit harder when it comes to connecting.” Overall, the experiences of Benedikte and Sjur underscore ease of use, safety, and operational excitement, making it a valuable asset for the Aalesund Cruise Port and Plug | Shore Power & Maritime Charging. We are very thankful to Benedikte and Sjur for their openness in sharing their experiences and for contributing to a greener future by using our equipment. ShoreLink is powering sustainability! #shorepower #cruise #ops #cms #alesundport #plug
