The chief executive of shipping giant Maersk has called on global shipping regulator the International Maritime Organisation to pass a regulations that would incentivise the use of green fuels — including those derived from hydrogen.
Vincent Clerc made the call in a LinkedIn post shortly after a championship snowboarder christened the company’s fourth large methanol-enabled ship (and seventh overall) in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Clerc said that to strive for the company’s target of moving 25% of its ocean cargo with low-emissions fuel, systematic change is required.
