Denmark's AP Moller-Maersk has moved its decarbonisation target forward by seven years by focusing on an order for a methanol-fuelled feedership.

The containership giant said this will give it the first carbon-neutral liner vessel by 2023, way ahead of its previous aim of 2030.

The feeder boxship will serve as a pilot scheme to demonstrate a scalable carbon-neutral product to customers, while offering fuel suppliers an incentive to boost green bunkers production.
