I wish CCS and Mærsk a very fruitful cooperation and look forward to hearing more about the progress and results achieved”, said by Thomas Østrup Møller Danish Ambassador to China.
“Maersk has set a clear and ambitious goal to become carbon neutral by 2050. China, as a globally leading maritime and shipbuilding nation, will be a crucial partner towards ensuring that our industry will be able to respond effectively to the climate change challenge. We are very pleased to join hands with CCS to collaborate on carbon-neutral technologies and standards and explore the opportunities for international cooperation within sustainable and zero carbon shipping”, said by Jens Eskelund Managing Director of Maersk China Limited
