Six new ammonia dual-fuel vessels to fly Singapore flag
The Straits Times
|April 18, 2024
The 4 bulk carriers and 2 ammonia carriers are part of push to green maritime sector
Six new vessels with ammonia dual-fuel engines will be registered under the Singapore Registry of Ships from 2026, as part of the Republic's efforts to green the maritime sector.
An ammonia dual-fuel engine is one that can run on both conventional marine fuels and ammonia, an alternative fuel that carriers are exploring to reduce emissions.
Shipping firm Eastern Pacific Shipping announced on April 17 that it inked agreements with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and classification societies ABS and Lloyd's Register to register the six vessels under the Singapore flag.
Four of the six vessels will be the first bulk carriers in Singapore and among the first in the world to use ammonia as a marine fuel from 2026, while the other two are very large ammonia carriers that will be scheduled for delivery in 2027.
