Korean Register (KR) has granted approval in principle for the 150,000 cu m ultra-large ammonia carrier developed by Samsung Heavy Industries during Posidonia 2024.
The 150,000 cu m ultra-large ammonia carrier was developed as part of a joint development project between KR and SHI. It is designed to transport large quantities of ammonia while using ammonia as a propulsion fuel, ensuring zero carbon emissions during operation.
SHI performed the conceptual design of the fuel system, including fuel supply, ventilation, and gas monitoring systems.
The two also signed a memorandum of understanding for developing 9,300 teu ammonia-fueled container ships. SHI will design the main system layout for applying ammonia fuel to neo-panamax boxships. KR will verify the design compliance, ultimately granting an AiP.
One approval in principle for an ammonia carrier was awarded during Posidonia this year. Lloyd’s Register granted it to Guangzhou Shipyard International for a 100,000 cu m very large ammonia carrier (VLAC).
