Big names in Japanese maritime are joining forces with a top European fertilizer producer to explore the development of an ammonia-fuelled ammonia gas carrier.
Shipowning major Nippon Yusen Kaisha, Japan’s largest shipbuilding group Nihon Shipyard and Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) have signed an memorandum of understanding with Yara International to press ahead with an ammonia ship design breakthrough.
“Through this joint R&D, we will promote the use of ammonia as a marine fuel and aim to provide a stable supply to meet existing demand (including chemical products and raw materials for fertilizers) and new demand (including fuel use in domestic thermal power plants), which is expected to grow in the future,” NYK stated in a release.
