Maersk names 3rd large methanol-enabled vessel Antonia Mærsk

Maersk held a christening ceremony for their 3rd large green methanol-enabled container vessel in their fleet in Aarhus, Denmark today.  The vessel was named Antonia Mærsk.

The vessel, the 3rd of in total 18 large dual-fuel newbuilds scheduled for delivery between 2024 and 2025, was christened by its godmother Kirsten Andersen, spouse of Vestas CEO Henrik Andersen.

Consistent with the tradition of naming Maersk vessels after members of the founding family, Antonia Mærsk is named after Antonia Uggla, granddaughter of Ane Mærsk Mc-Kinney Uggla, the chair of A.P. Møller Fonden and its investment company A.P. Moller Holding, the majority owner of A.P. Moller – Maersk. Source images: Maersk
