The  Tauranga Maersk  was named in a ceremony at Yangzijiang Shipyard in China , the company said in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday . The vessel is the second in a series of six mid-sized vessels, each with a capacity of 9,000 TEU , ordered by the company. The first vessel was delivered in February .  Equipped with a dual-fuel engine, the vessel is capable of running on methanol and conventional marine fuels. The company operated a fleet of 21 dual-fuel vessels capable of running on methanol as of the end of March , according to its Q1 earnings release earlier this month. Maersk was an early mover in adopting methanol as a marine fuel. However, the company has more recently also placed multiple orders for LNG-fuelled container ships as part of its broader alternative fuels strategy.   Ship & Bunker News Team To contact the editor responsible for this story email us at [email protected] Also in the News Danish Shipping CEO Survey Points to Worsening Market Outlook Executives warn of a deteriorating outlook and rising costs as conflicts and trade tensions disrupt global shipping.
