Ammonia is expected to be used as ship fuel for decarbonization since it does not emit CO2 when burned. Meanwhile, taking adequate safety measures are impartial due to its characteristics of being toxic to humans and corrosive against materials, and ClassNK has worked...
LR, a leading global provider of classification, compliance and advisory services to the marine and offshore industries, has awarded Approval in Principle (AiP) to Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company (DSIC), the largest shipbuilding company in China, for the first Chinese Newcastlemax bulk carrier concept to be powered by ammonia, a promising zero-carbon-emitting fuel.
As the classification society selected for the project, LR’s role was to review the suitability and risks of the design,...
A powerful consortium of shipping stakeholders is aiming to develop demonstrators for two-stroke and four-stroke marine engines running on ammonia fuel. The Ammonia 2-4 project aims to advance viable concepts for ammonia fuel.
The project is coordinated by technology group Wärtsilä, with participation from naval architects C-Job, classification society DNV, ship owner MSC and the National Research Council (CNR) of Italy. It has secured funding of €10 million from the European Union through the...
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) announced the completion of a concept study on an ammonia/liquefied CO2 carrier to flexibly meet future demand for transport of liquefied CO2 and ammonia transport with a vessel type that could become the mainstream in this transport field. MOL cooperated with the Mitsubishi Heavy Industry (MHI) Group’s Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. on this research.
The liquefied CO2 carrier (LCO2 carrier) can play a key role in efficiently transporting captured liquefied CO2...
Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (hereinafter, NYK), MTI Co., Ltd.
