This January, a full cargo load of ammonia was successfully transferred from EXMAR’s 38,500m³ capacity KORTRIJK to a similar-sized Trammo vessel, at the port of Sohar in northern Oman. The STS transfer in Oman paves the way for operations of new vessels in EXMAR’s fleet, with the first of four 46,000m³ capacity mid-sized gas carriers (featuring WinGD dual-fuel ammonia engines) to be shortly delivered to EXMAR in South Korea. The ammonia cargo transfer aspect is also crucial, as EXMAR and Lloyd’s Register led development of interim guidelines for the safe use of ammonia cargo as fuel on ammonia carriers, after the IMO lifted its prohibition on the use of toxic cargoes as fuel in 2024.
