: Risk Assessment on the Design Scheme for Ammonia-fuelled Harbor Workboats

With the acceleration of decarbonization in the global shipping industry, ammonia, as a highly-anticipated green energy star, is gradually becoming a key driving force for the transformation and upgrading of the shipping industry by virtue of its environmental characteristics of near-zero carbon emissions and cost advantages.

AIP Approval of the Design Scheme and Service for the First Ammonia-powered Tugboat in China

The 5500HP ammonia-powered tugboat project of COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (Dalian) is the first ammonia-powered ship project in China. During the progress of this project, China Classification Society (CCS) has actively promoted the transformation of ammonia-fueled ships from theory to practical application, participated in ship design optimization, provided risk assessment solutions for ships, put forward preventive suggestions and measures for key risk points of the application of ammonia fuel, and implemented them in ship construction, thereby guaranteeing the smooth progress of this project.

Main Risks and Control of the Application of Ammonia-Fuelled Vessels

Currently, ammonia fuel is widely regarded as one of the important alternative fuels for the international shipping industry to achieve the net zero emissions target by 2050. This paper analyzes the main risks of ships using ammonia fuel from the physical and chemical properties and combustion characteristics of ammonia, and sorts out the key technologies for ships using ammonia fuel, in order to provide reference for the safe application of ammonia fuel in ships.
