Japan’s Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), Tsuneishi Shipbuilding and Mitsui E&S Shipbuilding have launched a joint project aimed at developing and building an ocean-going liquefied gas carrier that will use ammonia as its main fuel.
The vessel is envisioned as a mid-size, 40,000 cu m ammonia/LPG carrier equipped with a main engine that can run mainly on ammonia. It targets to achieve net zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions using some of its ammonia cargo as fuel.
The ship will feature a Mitsui-MAN B&W type S60 two-stroke dual-fuel ammonia main engine.
