Several major shipbuilders receive approvals using Amogy ammonia technology Three ship designs from HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI), HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd. (HD KSOE) and Offshore Engineering (KSOE), all using Amogy’s ammonia cracking technology have received approval in principle (AiP) from major classification societies. Announced at #Posidonia2024, a very large ammonia carrier (VLAC) from HHI and Capital Gas Ship Management Corp. received an AiP from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and LISCR | The Liberian Registry Similarly, Lloyd's Register granted AiP to an 88,000m3 ammonia carrier designed by SHI, as well as a feeder ship design from HD HD Hyundai Mipo Co., Ltd. and HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd. (HD KSOE) highlighting the increased popularity of ammonia as a marine fuel. While all of the designs will still need to seek approval from individual flag states to begin construction and operation, the raft of approvals at Posidonia showcases the ongoing development of ammonia technology, which is one of the more promising sustainable fuels highlighted by the maritime industry. The ship designers will also be hoping that the AIPs may alleviate the fears of some in the industry about the safety of using ammonia, which can provide emissions-free power but would be highly toxic to humans and marine life if it leaked from fuel containers. https://lnkd.in/eEHSbik4 #energy #ammonia #shipping #shipbuilding

Japan's first LNG-fueled ferry, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines' (MOL) Sunflower Kurenai, won the highest award, the Grand Prize, in the 2023 Nikkei Excellent Products and Services Awards. The Nikkei Excellent Products and Services Awards, marking their 42nd anniversary this year, are presented every year to particularly outstanding new products and services. Products and services launched during the year 2023 and published in the media of Nikkei Inc. are judged comprehensively in the following six categories: 1) technological development, 2) cost effectiveness, 3) performance contribution, 4) growth, 5) uniqueness, and 6) impact on industry and society. In 2023, 16 best products and services (5 for production goods, 5 for consumer goods, and 6 for services) were selected from 228 candidates as particularly outstanding new products and services. The Sunflower Kurenai was highly regarded, especially for its uniqueness and social impact, as it was the first LNG-fueled ferry to enter service in Japan. Features of the Sunflower Kurenai: 1. Use of LNG fuel Compared to conventional vessels fueled by heavy oil, the use of LNG reduces emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) by about 25%, sulfur oxides (SOx) by 100%, and nitrogen oxides (NOx) by about 85%. This contributes to the realization of a low-carbon, decarbonized society. 2. Increased cargo capacity Significantly increased the number of trucks that can be transported. In addition, the drivers' rooms have been expanded to enhance the comfort of truck drivers while they are onboard the ferry. This will encourage the advancement of Japan's modal shift and help solve the 2024 problem in logistics. 3. Expansion of 'Casual Cruise Concept' The Sunflower Kurenai offers enhanced onboard facilities befitting a "Casual Cruise," the basic idea behind the MOL Group's ferry business, enabling customers to enjoy cruising as a high-quality means of travel by using regularly scheduled routes. The floor area of the Grand Bathroom is doubled, the number of seats in the restaurant was enlarged 1.5 times, and spacious and open public areas including a three-layer atrium were newly created. The vessel also features high-grade rooms that promise comfortable relaxation in an extraordinary space, such as suites with balconies that provide comfort for people of all ages, and with pet rooms where passengers can spend the whole night with their pets. The new ferry contributes to improving the well-being of customers by providing a pleasant cruise experience. The MOL Group has identified five Sustainability Issues and is advancing initiatives to address them. As we are engaged in marine transport, we have identified shifting to new sources of energy and reducing environmental impact as particularly urgent and important issues, and the Sunflower Kurenai is one of many steps toward achieving this goal.

Japanese JV commits to ammonia for newbuild bulker A joint venture between K Line, NS United and Itochu Corp has ordered a MAN engine for a 200,000-dwt bulker under construction at Imabari Shipbuilding Imabari Shipbuilding Co Ltd will install the MAN B&W 7S60ME-Ammonia engine with a selective catalytic reduction system.  The contract is one of the first for MAN Energy Solutions (MAN ES), whose ammonia-powered engine is still under development in Denmark. MITSUI E&S will build the engine in Japan. With ammonia engines on track for commercial release and its first engine delivery to the shipyard set for this year, the MAN group’s  combustion tests with its first ammonia dual-fuel engine  began in June 2023 at its Research Centre Copenhagen. At the time, the company said it "broadly expects to hold" to the original delivery schedule for completing its first ammonia engine, with operation on board a commercial vessel targeted "from around 2026". The ammonia engine R&D project started in 2019.  In August 2023, the engine designer reported the successful completion of combustion testing for a two-stroke ammonia engine. And, in January 2024, the engine’s fuel supply system received two approvals in principle from class societies. "Alternative fuels like e-methanol, e-methane and green ammonia will eventually come to compete with fossil fuels but we need regulation to encourage their adoption in the industry. Regulatory clarity from the EU and IMO is improving, but now we need the right market-based tools to be introduced to bring the industry towards carbon neutrality for 2050," MAN Energy Solutions country manager Denmark, Bjarne Foldager said.  The engine has been under development since 2019 with more than 100,000 man-hours recorded on the project in that time, according to MAN ES. The first MAN B&W ammonia engine is a 60-bore type, which is applicable to a broad range of vessel segments. MAN ES said the success of ammonia as a marine fuel relies on a safe introduction to the market and has committed to sea trials for multiple engines to ensure the engine design and functionality of the auxiliary systems meet safety requirements before the group’s ammonia-burning engines go on sale.  "In the short term, we expect a fast uptake of ammonia-fuelled engines towards the end of the decade as we obtain positive seagoing experience from the first engines. In the long term, we expect ammonia to comprise around 35% of fuel used on board large merchant-marine vessels by 2050 due to lower production cost compared to other e-fuels relevant for large merchant-marine vessels,” MAN ES head of sales Thomas S Hansen said.

Offshore support vessel shortages and strict local content requirements are holding back #subsea projects in Asia. Despite a growing pipeline of projects energy companies wish to develop in Asia, it is becoming harder to find #vessels to support them, particularly for #subsea operations. Limited #shipyard availability for vessel repairs, demand from offshore renewables, and #supplychain shortages are also limiting #offshore operations, delegates from The Offshore Support Journal Community heard at Riviera’s  #OSJAsia2024 Conference, in Singapore. Kim Heng Ltd chief operating officer for offshore and marine, Justin Anderson Tan, listed challenges in the market for #energy companies seeking to develop oil and gas fields in Asia. Mr Tan said there is a "shortage of vessels to support subsea" operations, plus tightened cabotage rules, a lack of available financing and trained crew. "There are a pipeline of projects, but holding this back is the supply chain and time to get repairs done," said Mr Tan. "There is a lack of available shipyard space for repairs." Every nation in southeast Asia has its own #cabotage requirements for crewing, flag, ownership and licensing, "contributing to the shortage in supply of subsea support vessels". While demand is increasing, there are few new vessels under construction or on order, so #shipowners can expect a stable and sustainable market over the next three years, but oil companies could reduce spending on existing assets and new fields. Malaysia OSV Owners’ Association (MOSVA) president Jamalludin Obeng said it is time for a fleet renewal in Malaysia as the average age of the 350 OSVs operating in that country is about 12-13 years old. "If we consider [the state of the fleet in] five years’ time, we would not want the same vessels, constructed nearly 20 years ago, still in operation," said Mr Obeng. This could be the case for vessels chartered on a long-term basis beyond 2030. There is, however, one sector of the offshore market bucking the trend. Multiple newbuild crew transfer vessels (#CTVs) for offshore #hydrocarbons and #renewables projects are being ordered from and delivered by shipyards. Penguin International Limited general manager for fleet and commercial operations, George Philip, said there is greater interest in many markets for #crewboats to compete with or replace #helicopters, for transferring offshore personnel and light cargo. He compared Penguin’s own Flex 42X design of CTVs with helicopters, and discovered these #workboats are more flexible, cheaper to build, quicker to repair and offered better crew comfort. Vessels also have far more carrying capacity for people and cargo and a longer range between refuelling than helicopters. Continued: https://lnkd.in/gasvqYMw

Japanese consortium unveils eco-friendly methanol-powered VLCC design. A consortium established by Japanese maritime majors NYK, Idemitsu Tanker, IINO Lines, and Nihon Shipyard has presented a design concept for Japan’s first Malacca Max type very large crude carrier (VLCC) that can run on methanol as an alternative fuel. To remind, the consortium was formed in January this year as part of the joint research and development project to design and build an eco-friendly VLCC, targeting up to 40% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The concept design of the VLCC produced by the consortium includes fitting a shaft generator and the latest dual-fuel main engine that can use methanol and heavy oil as fuel. The design also includes an optional wind propulsion system. As a result, the vessel can achieve a CO2 reduction of more than 40% compared to the reference line against the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) regulation, clearing Phase 3 (reduction of more than 30% compared to the reference line), which will apply from 2025, the developers stated. The 309,400 dwt vessel will have an overall 339.5-meter length, 60-meter breadth, and 28.6-meter depth.anol as an alternative fuel. https://lnkd.in/gz58fNP2 Image of the design concept for eco-friendly VLCC.

Need a seawater pipe replaced in Singapore? We #Automet surveyed this difficult geometry spool onboard a vessel bunkering in Singapore. The new PE lined prefabricated DN500 spool was manufactured in Shenzhen and delivered back to the vessel in Singapore by cost effective sea freight. Even with sea freight, we could supply faster, more cost effectively and higher quality than Singapore based suppliers. Automet dimensional control surveys and quality control give us confidence we can fabricate a pipe in China that will fit when it gets to the ship in Singapore. By comparing the digital twin created by Automet on the vessel to the pipe fabricated in our workshop, we know the new pipe will fit before we ship. #pipesurvey, #pipefabrication #shiprepair #marinerepair
