Pilbara Clean Fuel Bunkering Hub
Presentation

Pilbara Clean Fuel Bunkering Hub

Matthew BowdlerKarlene 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
Presentation

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

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

Realising ammonia bunkering: Insights from ammonia transfers in the Pilbara

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.

Ammonia Skills & Training
Presentation

Ammonia Skills & Training

Brian Inglis

In anticipation of new ammonia production projects beginning operations in Australia, how do we supply and train the new personnel that will be required? This was the focus of the CQU Ammonia Skills Project 2024/25, which produced new module training packages that have been piloted and validated by industry. The workshop also looks at training from a risk management perspective, and what lessons can be drawn from the rise of LNG manufacturing in Australia.

JERA’s Decarbonization Initiatives: Exploring results from the ammonia power generation demonstration at Hekinan

Masaki Ichiryu

In order to achieve decarbonization of thermal power plants, we conducted a demonstration test at the Hekinan Thermal Power Plant to substitute a part of coal fuel with ammonia fuel last year. The demonstration test was conducted by substituting 20% of the coal fuel with ammonia with good results, and now our construction is progressing as planned for commercial operation. In addition, we have considered safety measures for ammonia handling, including facility design and operational considerations, and we conducted disaster prevention drills and communicated with the local community. In this session, I will explain & explore these initiatives.

First ammonia bunker pilot completed in Rotterdam

Julian Atchison April 21, 2025

Facilitated by the Port of Rotterdam, Trammo, OCI, James Fisher Fendercare successfully completed a ship-to-ship transfer of ammonia between two vessels berthed at APM Terminals Maasvlakte earlier this month. The successful pilot raises the Port of Rotterdam’s “Port Readiness Level” for marine ammonia fuel to the deployment phase.
