AP Moller-Maersk has taken out a $5bn loan that factors in reaching 2030 carbon-reduction goals.

The revolving credit facility, backed by 26 lenders, is the first bank refinancing since Maersk turned into a global container logistics company from a diversified conglomerate, the company said.

It will be used to refinance an undrawn $5.1bn facility coming due in 2021 and matures in five years with a two-year extension option as part of Maersk's liquidity reserve.
