Sakigake is the world's first ammonia-fueled vessel developed for commercial use.

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.
