Denmark's Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping has unveiled a management team packed with high-profile shipping names as operations ramp up.

The lab, which was launched in June in Copenhagen, will see a range of well-known Danish shipping figures join forces to develop new fuels and technologies to decarbonise shipping.

The news means a return to shipping for former J Lauritzen chief executive Mads Peter Zacho, will join as head of industry transition.
