Maersk and HD Hyundai sign MoU to further decarbonisation of container ships

Maersk and HD Hyundai have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a collaboration on decarbonisation solutions for vessels, while HD Hyundai plans to expand the use of Maersk’s integrated logistics services across its affiliates. 

Initially, the two companies will conduct a six-month trial applying Avikus’ HiNAS, an advanced naviation solution for energy-efficient vessel operations, and HD Hyundai Marine Solution’s OCEANWISE route optimisation on a Maersk container vessel built and delivered by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries. 

The purpose of this trial is to validate the fuel-saving and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission-reduction impacts of optimised navigation systems.
