Lloyd’s Register and Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) have signed a joint development project (JDP) for approval in principle (AiP) for an ammonia-fuelled 9,300 TEU container vessel.

The announcement was made on 19 September at Gastech 2024, taking place in Houston, USA.

Under the agreement, SHI will work with Eastern Pacific Shipping to carry out the design studies on the ammonia-fuelled container vessel and Lloyd’s Register will provide the review of SHI deliverables and technical advice for further design development.

With the urgent need for sustainable fuel solutions in the maritime industry, this project will contribute to wider efforts aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime industry.

This AiP follows another recently awarded AiP to SHI and Amogy for an 88,000 cbm fuel cell-powered ammonia carrier, which uses ammonia cracking to create hydrogen for the fuel cell stored onboard.

Sung-Gu Park, President – North East Asia, Lloyd’s Register, said: “There is a growing demand for container vessels that incorporate innovative technologies to comply with stringent regulations and environmental standards for zero carbon.

“Lloyd’s Register is at the forefront of meeting the maritime sector’s need for innovative design development and approval for ammonia fuelled vessels, while also providing our clients and potential clients with access to cutting-edge advancements in ship design and propulsion systems.”

Hae Ki Jang, CTO & EVP SHI, said: “Ammonia is a carbon-free fuel for a future eco-friendly society. Through this JDP, SHI will continue to develop technologies that position itself as a market leading company, driving forward sustainable fuel solutions for the maritime sector.”
