Helping to decarbonise the maritime sector through pilots and trials

Based on the successful ship-to-ship ammonia transfer at the Port of Dampier last year, GCMD and partners are working to enable port readiness for ammonia bunkering. A number of future trials and studies are already scheduled, based in Singapore, Australia and beyond.

Realising ammonia bunkering: Insights from ammonia transfers in the Pilbara

Vibin Chandrabose

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) conducted a first-of-a-kind ammonia transfer pilot aimed at simulating bunkering procedures at anchorage in the waters of Port Dampier, Pilbara in September 2024. This spotlight session will share key takeaways from this pilot, including safety procedures, operational protocols, emergency responses measures. The session will also discuss how such pilots can pave the way for adoption of ammonia as a marine fuel across the region.
