ABS: Ammonia as marine fuel

ABS has published guidance on Ammonia as Marine Fuel, evaluating the challenges in design and operation of ammonia-fuelled vessels.

The whitepaper provides information for shipowners considering ammonia as an option in both the near-term and long-term. The white paper covers safety, regulations and requirements, design considerations as well as continuing engine research into the use of ammonia as a fuel.

The guidance builds on the ABS research developed in Setting the Course to Low Carbon Shipping: Pathways to Sustainable Shipping, to help drive decarbonization pathways for the industry.
