A.P. Moller – Maersk is retrofitting around 200 vessels from its time-chartered fleet in collaboration with 50 shipowners, aiming to enhance fuel efficiency and cargo capacity while reducing costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative includes over 1,500 projects, with more planned, and seeks a 35% reduction in scope 1 emissions by 2030. Key retrofits involve replacing propellers and bulbous bows to improve hydrodynamic efficiency and integrating systems for waste heat recovery, contributing to both emissions reductions and operational competitiveness.
