The contracts are for two mid-size LPG carriers for a Chinese shipyard customer and European owner plus six Very Large Ammonia Carriers (VLACs) for a Chinese shipyard customer and an Asian-based shipowner.
Alfa Laval and WinGD have established a partnership in which Alfa Laval will deliver two fuel supply systems (FSS) for testing WinGD's ammonia-fuelled engine in early 2024.
The study is the latest among shippers including North Sea Container Line, MOL and Bunker Holding that are exploring ammonia as an alternative marine fuel as they seek ways to cut emissions and meet decarbonisation goals.
The vessel will continue to be operated by Shin-Nihon Kaiyosha to verify its decarbonization effect and operational safety as the world's first ammonia-fueled vessel.
Bunker Holding and NeoGreen Hydrogen Corp. announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on the operations, logistics, and marketing of green ammonia and synthetic fuels across NeoGreen’s global project portfolio.
