Norwegian company Faerder Tankers recently achieved a significant milestone by receiving Approval in Principle (AIP) from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for their innovative ammonia carrier and bunkering vessel design. This approval underscores the maritime industry's increasing focus on adopting cleaner fuel alternatives like ammonia to reduce environmental impact. The approval from ABS is part of a broader trend in the industry towards embracing sustainable fuel sources. Other companies, such as SeaTech Solutions International and DNV, have also been recognized for their efforts in advancing clean ammonia technologies. SeaTech Solutions International recently received AiP from DNV for a 10,000 cbm clean ammonia bunkering vessel, further highlighting the industry's interest in ammonia as a viable marine fuel. Moreover, DNV granted approval in principle (AiP) to HD Hyundai Mipo and Norway's Corvus Energy for a vessel design that combines innovative technologies, including potentially ammonia-related solutions. This indicates a positive shift towards more environmentally friendly practices within the maritime sector. Additionally, Seatrium, another key player in the industry, announced the acquisition of Approval in Principle for a 25,000cbm ammonia bunker vessel from American regulators. These developments collectively signify a growing momentum towards sustainable marine fuel solutions and a promising future for ammonia as a viable and cleaner alternative in the shipping industry.
