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.

Ammonia pipelines: existing networks, future deployments, and safety considerations

Kevin Rouwenhorst June 26, 2025

In our June Episode of Project Features, the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology and Sunoco LP joined us to discuss ammonia pipelines. What lessons and best-practices can we draw from existing pipeline networks, and what design & risk mitigation factors are critical to the design of new ammonia pipeline routes?

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

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.

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).

Green Pioneer

Anthony Smith

The Green Pioneer project has seen huge success in just a few short years, and included many important steps. From design, HAZID/HAZOP, AiP, certification and extensive testing, multiple sea trials have taken place in several global locations. Safety underpins both design and operational decisions made during the project, and emergency response and intervention capabilities are both well-established. *this presentation is not publicly available

Ammonia Safety Training Program (ASTP) for maritime and port operations

David Harris

As part of the Australia-Singapore Low-Emissions Technologies (ASLET) Initiative, the program will design, develop, and pilot a comprehensive safety training program for maritime and port operations personnel working with ammonia. A short course for workforce development will be established at the Australian Maritime College in Tasmania, with each module integrating theory with real-world practical activities to reinforce competence and confidence. Stakeholders are welcome to register their interest to be involved. *this presentation is not publicly available

AiP Award Ceremony for 10,000 cbm NH3 Bunkering Vessel

Nick Bentley

DNV awards Approval in Principle to Seatech Solutions and Oceania Marine Energy for the Oceania α – an ammonia bunkering vessel that will operate in the Pilbara to service the Australia-Asia iron ore shipping route.
