A new advanced simulation suite supplied by technology group Wärtsilä for the Akademi Laut Malaysia (ALAM) maritime training institute was inaugurated on 17 July 2025.
The vessel, which will operate in North Atlantic waters, has been ordered by Canadian operator Clearwater Seafoods and will be built at the Hvide Sande Shipyard in Denmark.
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.
