A public version of the report was released as part of Singapore Maritime Week. Full findings are compiled in a report titled “Safety and Operational Guidelines for Piloting Ammonia Bunkering in Singapore”, which will be released at a later date.
While ammonia-fuelled vessels are not yet available, an ammonia bunkering pilot in Singapore’s port waters could soon be a possibility, according to new findings by the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) released on April 27.
GCMD and its appointed consultant, DNV Maritime Advisory (DNV), have completed a nine-month-long ammonia bunkering safety study commissioned in January 2022, with support from Surbana Jurong and the Singapore Maritime Academy (SMA) at the Singapore Polytechnic.
