flag Maersk expands ethanol use in shipping to cut China reliance, testing blends for full adoption.

flag Maersk is expanding its use of ethanol as a green fuel to reduce reliance on China, with CEO Vincent Clerc highlighting the U.S. and Brazil as key producers. flag The company is testing ethanol blends on its vessels, aiming for higher concentrations and eventual full ethanol use, citing existing overcapacity and lower scaling costs. flag This shift seeks to diversify supply chains and boost global support for shipping decarbonization, which faces high retrofitting and new-build costs. flag Meanwhile, Hapag-Lloyd and North Sea Container Line secured a three-year contract to use hydrogen-derived low-emission fuels starting in 2027. flag Other developments include the UK’s routine NATO Arctic discussions, the delivery of the world’s first long-range LNG and wind-powered tanker, and accelerated U.S. icebreaker fleet rebuild efforts.
