Wärtsilä Gas Solutions has received an order for the delivery of systems for cargo handling and fuel gas supply for two new medium-sized liquefied ammonia tankers. These vessels, each with a capacity of 51,350 m³, will also be capable of transporting liquefied gas, as the company reports. The construction of the tankers will take place at the Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering Co. Ltd. shipyard in China. The ships are owned by a joint venture between Navigator Gas and the Norwegian company Amon Maritime.
Ammonia as an alternative ship fuel
In the context of efforts to decarbonize shipping, ammonia is gaining increasing importance as a carbon-free alternative ship fuel according to Wärtsilä. Wärtsilä’s systems are designed for operation with ammonia as well as for the use of dual-fuel engines capable of operating with both ammonia and other fuels.
„This order further strengthens our position and is yet another proof point of executing our strategy focused on shaping the decarbonisation of marine.“
– Hans Jakob Buvarp, Sales Director of Wärtsilä Gas Solutions
