LMG Marin AS, Wärtsilä Voyage and Grieg Edge have been awarded Approval in Principle (AiP) for the design of a tanker that runs on green ammonia by the classification society DNV - Maritime (Det Norske Veritas).
The world’s first green ammonia-fuelled 120m-long tanker, the MS Green Ammonia will run on an ammonia engine with a cargo capacity of 7,500m³ of ammonia and will be able to load up to 1,000m³ per hour. The vessel will be part of the larger Berlevåg project in the north of Norway, where a group of Norwegian companies plans to produce green ammonia using power from the Raggovidda wind farm. The MS Green Ammonia will transport and distribute green ammonia fuel between mainland Norway and the North Pole from 2024.
LMG Marin AS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Marine Ltd, is a naval architecture and ship design firm with over 75 years of history and an extensive portfolio of leading-edge vessel designs, including zero-emission vessels.
