NYK confirms order for medium-sized ammonia carrier newbuilding
Newbuilding is part of a project that launched in 2021 by a consortium of Class NK, NYK, Japan Engine Corporation, IHI Power Systems and Nihon Shipyard
A new 40,000 cu m ammonia carrier will be fitted with the first marine ammonia-fuel engine to be built in Japan. It will be partly used as a pilot project to measure environmental performance for alternative-fuel vessel operations
