APM Terminals reported that its Lázaro Cárdenas terminal in Michoacán, Mexico, handled 684,599 TEUs during the first half of 2026, a 35% increase in container throughput compared to the first half of 2025. [^1]

Maersk is developing a container ship that will be the world's first to use wind power for propulsion. [^2]

Lloyd's Register, A.P. Moller - Maersk, and the ports of Charleston and Felixstowe will examine the security and safeguarding requirements for a theoretical deployment of a nuclear-powered container ship route between the UK and the US. [^3]

A.P. Moller - Maersk announced on 2026-09-02 that Roberta Duarte will return to the company as Chief People Officer and join its Executive Leadership Team, effective 1 November 2026. [^4]

APM Terminals reported that its Yucatán terminal at Progreso, Mexico, moved 41,442 TEUs during the first half of 2026 while it executes an expansion project at the multipurpose terminal. [^5]

Maersk intends to use wind power to supplement its traditional engine systems on the new ship. [^6]

The development of this wind-powered vessel is a direct response to extremely high fuel prices following the conflict between the USA and Israel in Iran. [^7]

Key areas of focus for the Pink Corridor project include ship security, safeguards, cyber resilience, emergency response, insurance regimes, and alignment between maritime and nuclear regulatory expectations. [^8]

The project, centered on a conceptual nuclear-powered container ship, is named the Pink Corridor and will examine requirements for theoretical port access on the specified route. [^9]

APM Terminals selected Progreso, Yucatán, as one of three global pilot locations to test equipment electrification technologies, supporting the company's target to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. [^10]

The high cost of fuel is currently a major challenge for the shipping industry due to the ongoing war. [^11]
