集装箱航运巨头马士基（Maersk）订购的16,200 TEU甲醇双燃料集装箱船正处于建造阶段。根据马士基在社交媒体上的最新消息，韩国现代重工（Hyundai Heavy Industries，HHI）于去年11月28日为该系列首制船举行了钢板切割仪式，船东、船厂以及船级社代表出席了该仪式，该船将入级美国船级社（ABS）。马士基在韩国现代重工以及现代尾浦造船厂(Hyundai Mipo Dockyard)共订购了19艘甲醇动力集装箱船，其中包括去年10月订购的6艘17,000 TEU箱船、12艘16,000 TEU箱船和2021年订购的1艘支线箱船，这些船舶采用绿色甲醇和低硫燃油作为推进动力。据悉，这些船需要约75万吨绿色甲醇。此外，马士基还表示，当其订购的19艘船舶全部运营并替换下旧船时，其船队每年可减少约230万吨的二氧化碳排放。

Container shipping major Maersk has launched the construction of its 16,200 TEU dual-fuel containerships that can run on green methanol. Namely, South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries hosted a steel-cutting ceremony for what is believed to be the first vessel from the series on November 28, 2022, based on a social media update from Maersk. The steel-cutting ceremony was attended by the representatives from HHI, Maersk and ABS, which will be in charge of classing the vessel. Maersk has a total of 19 methanol-powered container carriers on order at Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hyundai Mipo Dockyard. These include six vessels with a nominal capacity of 17,000 TEU ordered last October, twelve 16,000 TEU boxships and one feeder ordered in 2021. The dual-fuel vessels will be capable of burning methanol as well as conventional low sulphur fuel. That being said, the ships will require approximately 750.000 tonnes of green methanol. The container shipping heavyweight said that when all 19 vessels on order are deployed and have replaced older vessels, they will generate annual CO2 emissions savings of around 2.3 million tonnes.
