Danish shipping firm AP Moller-Maersk will retrofit one of its existing vessels with a methanol dual-fuelled engine.

The vessel, which has not been named, will be retrofitted during 2024 by MAN Energy Solutions and more vessels could follow after 2027.

The vessel will run on green methanol — which it defines as methanol fuel with 65-95pc life cycle greenhouse gas reductions compared with fossil fuels — and conventional bunker fuels.

Argus requested comment about the percentage of methanol used in the co-firing process, methanol and conventional marine fuels consumption, the size of the ship and the source of green methanol, but Maersk declined to share details of the vessel.
