Malaysian owner MISC Berhad is working with Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) to develop an ammonia-fuelled tanker.
Class society Lloyd’s Register (LR) and engine maker MAN Energy Solutions are also involved in the project that aims to address shipping’s decarbonisation challenge.
They are working towards meeting the IMO's 2050 target of cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50%, which means commercially viable zero-emissions vessels operational by 2030.
