Happy Thursday!
We like a good
engineering feat and with the IMO deadline to reduce emissions quickly approaching
the first ammonia powered vessel seemed to fit the bill. Did anyone happen to read gCaptain Daily
Newsletter on September 6, 2025, their article titled, “Construction Begins
on World’s First Ammonia-Powered Containership”? The article speaks in regard to Yara Clean Ammonia
had a steel cutting ceremony for its first renewable ammonia-powered vessel
named, “Yara Eyde”. Yara Eyde will be a containership,
and this ship will help the shipping industry show it too may help lower
emissions as the world strives to reduce greenhouse gases. Yara Eyde shipping route will eventually connect
Norway and Germany. Ammonia as a low emission
marine fuel has grown from theory to use in a relative short amount of time. The
shipping industry has 39 ships which use ammonia as its fuel, and they are
either tankers or general cargo vessels.
In spite of the special handling ammonia needs, advances have been made
for marine refueling facilities, and as there becomes more of a demand the prohibitive
costs should tame. We wish Yara Edye a
speedy journey to the finish line! If
