UK Sees First Ammonia Bunkering at Southampton
Monday March 10, 2025
The UK has seen its first delivery of ammonia as a bunker fuel.
The Fortescue Green Pioneer demonstration vessel has arrived in the UK as part of efforts to promote the use of ammonia as a bunker fuel.
The ship took on about 1 mt of ammonia at Southampton last week before heading for London to showcase ammonia's benefits ahead of a key IMO meeting, a company representative told Ship & Bunker on Sunday.
The ship also underwent a port state control inspection.
The 75 m vessel has been converted to run on ammonia, with a fuel tank capable of holding about 22 mt.
The ship took on the first fuel load and trial for a dual-fueled ammonia vessel in Singapore in March 2024.
