BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, September 14, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- The arrival of the Laura Maersk today in Copenhagen for its official naming marks the end of its maiden voyage and the start of a new era for the maritime industry.

The Methanol Institute has been onboard since the start, supporting our members AP Moller-Maersk and OCI Fuels (which provided bio-methanol for the voyage) to make this industry-first happen.

Methanol is long proven as a safe, efficient marine fuel and the transition to fully sustainable green biomethanol positions it as a fuel that can make immediate positive contributions to shipping’s journey to net zero.

“MI is honoured to be here for the christening of Laura Maersk. It’s a demonstration that the shipping industry is fully embracing methanol as a sustainable fuel fit for the energy transition and positioned for the future,” added Methanol Institute Chief Executive Officer Greg Dolan who participated in the naming ceremonies.
