ClassNK has entered a collaborative research and development (R&D) agreement with Nihon Shipyard (NSY) and IMC aimed at ensuring the safety and performance evaluation of anti-roll tanks (ART) installed on large container ships.
Latvian scientists aim to use their unique know-how to create a marine exhaust gas treatment plant that is more environmentally friendly, more efficient and more cost-efficient than those currently used by shipping companies.
The tool, developed by the University of Exeter’s Centre for Future Clean Mobility (CFCM) and Newcastle Marine Services, has been awarded a grant of more than £500,000 by Innovate UK.
Nuvera will provide an EN-125 engine to operate on hydrogen derived from ammonia, which is emerging as a key zero-carbon fuel in the maritime sector that can be produced renewably.
As well as the fuel supply system - including a fuel valve unit, fuel conditioning and all related piping – the concept includes several features to enable the safe use of ammonia as a marine fuel.
