Maersk has revealed the design of its new-look series of 16，200 teu methanol-fueled ships which feature the accommodation at the bow and no islands along the vessel.

The first in a series of 12 methanol-enabled containerships made its launching and undocking milestone over the weekend. The ship is under construction at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and will deliver in 2024.

Last month Maersk held a high profile naming ceremony for the Laura Maersk， the world’s first methanol-powered boxship， a feeder that is now working in the Baltic.

Maersk has taken the lead with methanol orders. It also has contracted for a series of 9，000 teu ships and in total has 25 methanol-duel fuel ships set to join its fleet by 2027.
