Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co (DSIC) has used the Marintec exhibition in Shanghai to showcase a concept for an ammonia-fuelled 23,000-teu containership.
Tuesday saw the Chinese shipbuilder receive approval in principle (AIP) from Lloyd’s Register for the design which is also being developed with MAN Energy Solutions.
The three companies said the project marked the first “ammonia as fuel” design of its kind in China.
