While NYK has experience with STS transfers involving crude oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), this marks the first operation involving liquefied ammonia.

Ammonia, which does not emit CO₂ during combustion, is expected to see wider use as a zero-carbon fuel for ships.

ClassNK, along with IHI Corporation, JFE Steel, Tohoku University and the Institute of Science Tokyo, have been selected to work on tools assessing stress corrosion cracking (SCC) risks in ammonia fuel storage and transportation equipment.

The new technology will be used on board four Medium Gas Carriers for Trafigura, being built at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD)

Amon Gas is targeting a shipbuilding series starting with 2 firm orders of ammonia-powered MGCs with a goal of being in operation by 2028.

Ocean Network Express announces the naming of ONE Singapore, the sixth vessel in a series of 20 ammonia/methanol ready container vessels.

Since ammonia has a high specific gravity, VLAC cargo tanks and hulls need to be reinforced, and the vessels will have a deeper draught when fully loaded.

Höegh Evi, Wärtsilä and partners successfully complete development of the world’s first floating ammonia-to-hydrogen cracker

NYK and IPS analyzed the ammonia co-firing and GHG-reduction rates during vessel operations

Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co. has jointly developed a large ammonia carrier that uses ammonia as fuel, in collaboration with MOL and Namura Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.

Emissions data was also encouraging, with ammonia emissions below 10ppm and N2O below 3ppm. NOx emissions for ammonia operation were well below those generated during diesel use.

This vessel is jointly developed by Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) and LMG Marin AS (a member of the Seatrium Group).
