Laura Maersk holds the title of the World’s first methanol-powered feeder container ship. It was launched in 2023 and is owned by Maersk.
The vessel was constructed as a dual-fuel container ship in South Korea’s Hyundai Mipo Dockyard.
It is 172 meters long and has a width of 32 metres with a gross tonnage of 25,750 tonnes.
The ship was named by European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen in Copenhagen, after steamship SS Laura, the first vessel owned by Peter Maersk Moller, the father of the Maersk’s founder.
This ship is quite special since it is part of Maersk’s aim of having a fleet that runs solely on green fuels.
It mainly operates on the Baltic Shipping Route between Northern Europe and the Bay of Bothnia. It is designed to run on methanol as much as possible, with the intent to bunker at Rotterdam Port every 5 weeks.
Laura Maersk flies the Danish flag and is ABS Class certified. It has a speed of 17.4 knots and can sail in sea ice which is a metre thick in the Baltic Sea. It
