For the Alexander Maer<strong>sk</strong>, getting from A<br />
to B as quickly and as inexpensively as possible<br />
is not the only thing that counts. Sailing<br />
under the Danish flag, the container ship is<br />
just as intent on following an environmentally<br />
compatible course. Having retrofitted<br />
the vessel with an exhaust<br />
gas recirculation system, the<br />
shipping line AP Moeller-<br />
Maer<strong>sk</strong> and MAN Diesel<br />
have now realized one of the<br />
ambitious goals set by the<br />
Danish maritime initiative The<br />
Green Ship of the Future, launched<br />
in 2008. Together with 15 other business<br />

Rotterdam<br />
New gateway to the world<br />
Dachser now offers worldwide sea freight services to and from the Netherlands<br />
via one of the world’s biggest ports. Together with its joint venture<br />
partner Seacon, Dachser’s Air & Sea Logistics business segment has opened<br />
a sea freight office in Waddinxveen near Rotterdam. Offering a complete<br />
package of overland, air and sea freight services, as well as warehousing<br />
solutions, the new facility opens a new gateway to Dachser’s European and<br />
global network.<br />

All signs point<br />
to green<br />
emissions of nitrogen oxides and sulphur<br />
oxides by as much as 90 percent. But time<br />
is short: the International Maritime Organization,<br />
IMO, has stipulated that shipping<br />
lines must reduce nitrogen emissions by 80<br />
percent by 2016. In their efforts to do so,<br />
developers are focusing their attention on the<br />
large two-stroke engines used on ocean-going<br />
container vessels and tankers. Thomas S.<br />
Knudsen, head of MAN Diesel’s Low Speed<br />
business unit, sees the Green Ship project<br />
as blazing a pioneering trail: “With ‘The<br />
Green Ship’ of the Future we are going a step<br />
beyond normal measures to halt climate<br />
change and protect the planet.”<br />
