AP Moller-Maersk has declared it will not follow the lead set by rival leading container carrier CMA CGM in ordering LNG-fuelled big new boxships.
Maersk chief executive Soren Skou said: “We don’t believe that LNG is going to play a big role for us as a transition fuel. It is still a fossil fuel and we would rather go from what we do today straight to a CO2-neutral fuel.”
