Maersk has unveiled new-look containers, ditching grey for bright blue. 

The Danish container carrier has had grey-coloured containers for the past 51 years.

The new blue look is pictured above on 85,000 containers ordered in China, with more set to flood the market in the coming years.

The white colour remains unchanged on reefer containers.

The box colour switch follows on from significant changes to the hulls of Maersk newbuilds. Since 2023, new Maersk ships wear their hull markings in white, as opposed to the former black, and the carrier’s seven-pointed star now also prominently features on the hull.
