Pilbara clean fuel bunkering hub: a multi-party strategic roadmap

Geofrey Njovu July 13, 2025

A new strategy roadmap launched alongside the recent AEA APAC conference envisions Port Hedland in the Pilbara region as a major clean fuel bunkering hub. In news from roadmap partners, Oceania Maritime Energy and SeaTech Solutions have received approval in principle for their ammonia bunkering vessel design (also at the APAC conference), and BHP has signed time charter contracts for two ammonia dual fuel Newcastlemax bulk carriers to carry iron ore to northeast Asia.

Ammonia bulk carriers: momentum in Norway

Geofrey Njovu July 10, 2025

With $25 million in funding from the Norwegian Government, Amon Marine will develop two ammonia-powered bulk carriers, entering into a new vessel market. Also in Norway, Færder Tankers has received approval in principle for their design of a 50,000 cubic metre capacity dual fuel ammonia medium carrier and bunkering vessel.

The IMO approved its Net-zero Framework. Now what?

Trevor Brown Andrea Guati Rojo June 26, 2025

The consensus that has emerged from across the ammonia energy industry carries a very simple message for the IMO: adopt.

Webinar

Deploying safe ammonia bunkering in the Port of Rotterdam and beyond

Julian Atchison

Learn more about a recently-completed ammonia bunker pilot facilitated by the Port of Rotterdam, and the global landscape of maritime ammonia activities being tracked by the Global Maritime Forum.

Presentation

Safe ammonia bunkering in Australian ports

Mike Minogue

The Dampier STS ammonia transfer trial yielded a number of important learnings and findings. This presentation also looks at the location of the ammonia transfer within the Port of Dampier, and how the current outer anchorage layout is well-suited for ammonia fuel bunkering.

Presentation

Oceania bunker vessel specifications

Nick Bentley

This presentation explores some of the specs and operational modeling done for the Oceania α, a 10,000 cbm ammonia bunker vessel that will operate in the Pilbara.

Introduction to Yara Clean Ammonia: fueling a zero-carbon future

Mark Lee

A look at Yara Clean Ammonia’s decarbonization portfolio, including plans for low-carbon ammonia production in the Pilbara, potentially serving local maritime fuel markets. Yara is also collaborating in a number of critical safety projects globally.

Helping to decarbonise the maritime sector through pilots and trials

Vibin Chandrabose

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.

Pilbara Clean Fuel Bunkering Hub

Matthew Bowdler Karlene Bylund

Pilbara Ports is working to establish the Pilbara Clean Fuel Bunkering Hub, enabling port users to bunker locally-produced low carbon ammonia as a marine fuel. Our goal is for 100 per cent of bulk export vessels departing the Pilbara to be powered by clean fuels. This presentation analyses some of the findings from our initial workstreams, including the penalty costs for the Pilabar export fleet under the new IMO emission pricing framework, fuel demand forecasts, and anchorage options. The presentation coincides with the release of Pilbara Ports Authority’s new Clean Fuel Bunkering Hub Strategy.

NYK’s Ammonia Projects

Jack Jones

Here, we explore in-depth the modifications made onboard the tugboat Sakigake to transform it from Japan’s first LNG-fueled vessel into Japan’s first ammonia-fueled vessel. Technical specifications, design challenges and emission results from early operations are all included. We also explore progress in two other areas: the construction and deployment of an ammonia-fueled, medium-sized gas carrier, and ammonia bunkering (development of both a bunker boom and barge vessel).
