🔥 Greetings, Maritime Mavericks!
Maersk is moving fast again.
The Danish giant is preparing to order a new series of LNG dual-fuel container ships.
Negotiations with Chinese and Korean shipyards are already in motion.
At the same time, yard congestion and rising charter rates are adding pressure.
This raises the key question: Is LNG really Maersk’s future — or just a short-term fix?
In today’s story, we break it down into four big angles:
1️⃣ China vs. Korea: The Shipyard Battle
2️⃣ The Pressure on Capacity & Charter Rates
3️⃣ Maersk’s Dual-Fuel Dilemma
4️⃣ What’s Next: Beyond LNG

Let’s dive in.
1️⃣ China vs. Korea: The Shipyard Battle
Chinese yards (Jiangnan, Hudong, Ningbo) offer lower prices and faster slots.
Korean giants (Hyundai, Daewoo) are booked with LNG carrier orders until late 2028.
Delivery speed could decide the deal — not just price.
