Breeze Ship Design will design an Ammonia-Powered Oil Tanker as part of the Norway-backed Green Shipping Program (GSP)
Together with partners such as Equinor, DNV, Yara, Grieg and Altera Infrastructure, Breeze Ship Design will take part in a Pilot for an Ammonia powered oil tanker (Aframax – 110K DWT) as part of the Green Shipping Program. The vessel used as basis for this pilot is a Breeze design. Breeze Ship Design will take responsibilities in the work package for ship integration of the ammonia fuel and bunkering systems, as well as machinery and propulsion system.
Main objectives of the pilot project are:
- Investigate the technical and economic applicability of ammonia engines, fuel and bunkering systems on a generic tanker design.
- Understand operational safety aspects and competence requirements.
- Solve security challenges in the design and identify barriers.
- The ultimate goal of the pilot is to enable an Equinor chartered tanker powered by ammonia.
