| 摘要： | In December 2021, Maersk introduced a new design for eight of its future 16,000 TEU container vessels that will be powered by carbon-neutral methanol. The Danish shipping giant said this design allows a 20% improved energy efficiency per container compared with the industry average for this vessel size, which is hoped to save 1 million tons of CO_2 emissions per year once all eight vessels are in operation. In addition to the future-proof propulsion, the vessels will look slightly different to the box-standard container ship. "The crew accommodation and bridge will be located at the bow to enable increased container capacity. The funnel will be in the aft, and only on one side of the vessel, thereby providing further space for cargo. This separation between accommodation and funnel will also improve efficiency when at the port," Palle Laursen, chief technical officer at Maersk said. This is due to no vessel eguipment interfering with port operations on the starboard side. |
