Yara Clean Ammonia, NorthSea Container Line and Yara International announce the new vessel will sail from 2026, operating between Norway and Europe. Yara Clean Ammonia will supply ammonia fuel via a storage and bunkering network that is being developed with Azane Fuel Solutions, with the first demonstration to take place in Brevik, Norway.
ITOCHU & Orascom Construction have partnered to develop an ammonia bunkering hub at the Suez Canal in Egypt. In other news, Fertiglobe and AD Ports Group will leverage the latter’s logistics expertise and infrastructure in the UAE to strengthen Fertiglobe’s ability to store and transport ammonia & urea.
Sembcorp, IHI and GE will explore potential retrofits to existing gas turbines at the Sakra power plant to run on 100% ammonia fuel. The Sakra plant currently features two GE 9FA turbines, which are among the models IHI & GE are targeting for development of a “retrofittable” ammonia combustion system.
In our latest episode of Maritime Ammonia Insights, Matt Dunlop (MMMZCS) and Samie Parkar (Lloyd’s Register’s) stepped us through key outcomes of a new, comprehensive safety study for ammonia-fuelled shipping. Combining Quantitative Risk Analysis with Human Factors analysis, a series of risk mitigation & worker training recommendations provides a path forward for the safe operations of ammonia-fuelled vessels.
The pair will collaborate on operations, distribution logistics & marketing of ammonia fuel from NeoGreen’s under-development project portfolio. This includes planned production projects in Paraguay, Namibia and Egypt (next to the Suez Canal).
