Momentum for the practical expansion of ammonia fuel supply ships, a presentation ceremony in collaboration with TBG NYK and TB Global Technologies Ltd. (TBG) received the certificate for approval in principle (AiP) for the ship-to-ship supply of fuel ammonia at Gastech 2024, held in Houston, U.S.A. on September 18 (local time September 17) from Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK). This is the world’s first* bunkering boom for ammonia-fueled vessels to receive the AiP, and will provide a major boost to the expansion of the practical application of ammonia-fueled vessels, reports NYK Line.
Emergency release system
The most distinctive feature of the boom is a TBG-developed emergency-release system that allows the connection between an ammonia-fueled vessel and an ammonia bunkering vessel (ABV) to be disconnected instantly in an emergency.
