NYK & Partners Receive AiP For Ammonia Fuelled Ammonia Bunkering Vessel
A groundbreaking step in the advancement of sustainable maritime energy has been achieved with the issuance of an Approval-in-Principle (AiP) certificate for an ammonia fuelled ammonia bunkering vessel designed through the collaboration of Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) and its partners(consortium).
Seatrium, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, LMG Marine AS (LMG Marin) provided critical engineering expertise for the vessel’s design, which will now be submitted to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) for evaluation.
Through this latest initiative, the consortium aims to address the industry’s urgent need to decarbonize and create a viable value chain for ammonia as a marine fuel. This collaborative effort underscores their collective commitment to fostering a greener, more sustainable maritime industry.
Leading the Green Transition
The AiP certification validates the ammonia fuelled ammonia bunkering vessel design’s compliance with stringent safety, technical, and environmental standards, solidifying the consortium’s leadership in the development of alternative fuels for maritime use. By enhancing the feasibility of ammonia as a future fuel, this project positions the consortium at the forefront of the maritime energy transition.
Tsutomu Yokoyama, Executive Officer, NYK Line, commented: “This Approval-in-Principle represents a critical milestone in …
