Maersk has been reinforcing its commitment to reducing harmful gas emissions into the atmosphere, such as CO2, and this is yet another of its strategies to minimize these impacts.

The maritime logistics company received the container ship from Zodiac Maritime, based in London, this week, to begin operations with the vessel in its fleet at international ports. Furthermore, in addition to this vessel, Maersk is expected to receive at least five more sister ships currently under construction at the South Korean shipyard DSME, according to Alphaliner, which will serve for the expansion of container handling by the company over the coming years.

Although Maersk has not disclosed the main details of the transaction for the Zodiac Maritime container ship, such as the amount paid for the chartering on a daily, monthly, or yearly basis, information about the duration of the partnership has been shared by VesselsValue. Thus, the chartering contract for the ship to its fleet by the maritime logistics company will last a total of 10 years.

In this way, Zodiac Maritime continues to expand its presence in the container ship segment, as the company ordered a series of ten ships of 15,473 TEUs from DSME between 2020 and 2021, at a price of US$ 108 million each, aiming at the high demand for vessels in the port sector due to the growth of cargo handling using containers.
