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

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).

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.

Presentation

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.

MOL’s activities in next-generation energy as social infrastructure company

Shinichi Taguchi

Based on the MOL “Environmental Vision 2.2”, a significant transition to ammonia fuel will occur by 2050. Mitsui O.S.K. Lines is involved in a series of upstream, midstream and downstream projects, including the production of ammonia fuel, and the development and ownership of ammonia-fueled ships.

Presentation

NYK’s decarbonization strategy and efforts for adopting ammonia as a marine fuel

Jack Jones

NYK’s game plan for ammonia fuel adoption features four key elements: regulatory readiness, technical readiness, social acceptance, and economic efficiency. On the technical front, NYK is involved in a series of vessel and engine projects, including the delivered A-Tug Sakigake project, which we will explore in-depth later at this conference.
