ABS is to class Maersk’s groundbreaking series of 16,000-teu methanol-fuelled containerships recently ordered at Hyundai Heavy Industries.
The US classification society is already responsible for the classification of Maersk’s 2,100-teu dual-fuel feeder containership on order at South Korea’s Hyundai Mipo Dockyard.
“Sustainable global trade is an urgent priority not just for our industry, but the entire world and this landmark project starts to make this dream a reality,” said ABS chairman Christopher J Wiernicki.
