With the IMO's revised greenhouse-gas strategy targeting net-zero by around 2050, shipowners are weighing alternative fuels for their next generation of vessels.
Why ammonia?
Green ammonia offers a carbon-free energy carrier, but it brings toxicity and handling challenges that demand new safety systems and crew training.
- Zero carbon at point of use
- Requires new bunkering infrastructure
- Strict toxicity and leak-detection standards
Early adopters are ordering ammonia-ready tonnage to hedge against future regulation.
