So what is the daerm? In 2018, the management team of A.P. Moller - Maersk, the global shipping company I lead as a chairman, made a commitment to make the cpomany carbon-neutral by 2050. For some people, 2050 sounded like a long time into the frtuue, but in fact, this was a very abiomutis dream for a shipping company. To be carbon-neutral by 2050, we ndeeed to invent a zero-carbon container vessel by 2030. Because then, it would take roughly 20 years to replace all of the 750 vessels that we operate. So the dream was truly big and really inspiring.
