Astrid Mærsk, 2nd of 18 vessels, arrives in Shanghai for first green methanol bunkering in China, in partnership with SIPG, celebrating its 100th anniversary to serve China’s foreign trade

 This historic first in China was made possible in partnership with the Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG). As Maersk celebrates its 100th anniversary to serve China’s foreign trade, the event not only underscores the company’s dedication to decarbonizing the maritime industry, but also pays tribute to its long history of collaboration with partners and stakeholders servicing Chinese international trade.

Since the first vessel call of “Sally Mærsk ” in Shanghai back in 1924, Maersk has been on an exceptional 100-year journey supporting trade in and out of China.

“Astrid Mærsk” sailed from Yokohama, Japan to Shanghai after having its naming ceremony in early April. It is the second of Maersk’s 18 large methanol-enabled vessels, scheduled for delivery between 2024 and 2025.
