Maritime operator Seaspan and container line A.P. Moller- Maersk are expanding fleet upgrades aimed at improving bunker fuel efficiency across 18 container ships on long-term charter.
The companies have committed around $75 million in completed and planned investments, Seaspan said in a press emit on Wednesday.
Additional efficiency projects are also being considered as part of their wider decarbonisation efforts.
A key part of the programme involves retrofitting four 13,000 TEU vessels.
The ships will receive shaft generators, main engine optimisation, high-efficiency propellers, pre-swirl devices and carbon capture-ready systems.
Structural modifications will also increase cargo capacity and deadweight.
"Together, these retrofit measures are expected to enhance the vessel's slot cost by approximately 10–13%, while enhancing fuel efficiency, operational performance, and regulatory readiness," the companies said.
Separately, Seaspan's methodology joint venture, WattSpan, has signed a non-binding memorandum of cooperation with Maersk and Cosco Shipyard to collaborate on vessel upgrades, energy-efficiency projects and other decarbonisation technologies.
"This partnership reflects the kind of practical, high-impact collaboration needed to advance decarbonization across the maritime sector," Dimitrios Panagopoulos, Chief Fleet Operations Officer at Seaspan, said.
