Oceania and Hexagon to develop ammonia bunkering in Dampier

Yara opened a new ammonia terminal in Germany, enabling annual imports of 3 million tonnes of low-CO2 ammonia to support Europe’s hydrogen economy.

The successful ammonia ship-to-ship transfers have advanced Pilbara’s ambitions to become a major ammonia bunkering hub.

G2 Ocean plans to expand its fleet to ten by adding two 82,300 dwt ammonia/methanol-ready vessels, to be delivered in 2028 and 2029.

ITOCHU, ClassNK, Nihon Shipyard, and Singapore’s MPA signed an MoU to jointly study the design and safety of ammonia-fueled ships.

A recent joint study says that Well-to-Wake emissions in the Pilbara-to-Asia iron ore export trade route can be reduced by over 90% by 2050.

BHP plans to launch its first ammonia-fueled ship by 2026, evaluating eight firms for construction, and awaiting cost assessments, while ammonia engines are expected by 2025.
