Hong Kong-based Luda Technology Group subsidiary, Luda (Taian) Industrial Company, has signed a series of strategic cooperation agreements with several Chinese shipbuilders, including China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), Haiting (Nantong) Shipbuilding Company, and COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Company, to jointly manufacture specialty-material flanges and pipe fittings for ammonia-fueled vessels.
This initiative contributes to the Chinese shipbuilding industry's efforts to achieve supply chain autonomy.
Given the high corrosiveness and hydrogen embrittlement risks of ammonia fuel on metal materials, traditional carbon and stainless steels fall short of the stringent requirements. Luda Taian has proactively invested in testing ammonia-resistant materials, including high-nickel alloys and special stainless steels, along with the development of corresponding welding and heat treatment processes.
