Yara Clean Ammonia (YCA) has announced the successful completion of the <\/p>\n

world\u2019s first ship-to-ship (STS) transfer of ammonia at anchorage in Western <\/p>\n

Australia.<\/p>\n

\"Yara<\/p>\n

This achievement, part of the maritime decarbonisation initiative led by <\/p>\n

the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD), represents a significant <\/p>\n

milestone in establishing ammonia as a viable marine fuel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Under the supervision of the Pilbara Port Authority (PPA), the pilot took <\/p>\n

place within the anchorage area of Port Dampier, simulating real-world bunkering <\/p>\n

conditions and demonstrating that ammonia transfer can be executed safely and <\/p>\n

effectively offshore.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yara Clean Ammonia was one of three core partners in the initiative, <\/p>\n

alongside GCMD and PPA, and played a central role in enabling the trial:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Supplied the ammonia used in the transfer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chartered the Green Pioneer of MOL, one of the two gas carriers used in the <\/p>\n

operation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Contributed technical expertise and industry knowledge to the safety <\/p>\n

studies, risk assessments, and emergency response planning.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The trial builds on insights from GCMD\u2019s prior safety study in Singapore <\/p>\n

and confirms that, with the right controls in place, ammonia STS transfers at <\/p>\n

anchorage are both safe and scalable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis successful trial is a pivotal step towards building trust in ammonia <\/p>\n

as a zero-to-near-zero emission (ZNZ) maritime fuel,\u201d said Murali Srinivasan, <\/p>\n

SVP Commercial in Yara Clean Ammonia.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the result of world-class collaboration and careful planning\u2014and it <\/p>\n

shows that with the right safeguards, ammonia bunkering is not only feasible but <\/p>\n

practical.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWith our strategic location, integrated logistics, and upcoming renewable <\/p>\n

and low-carbon ammonia production, Yara Clean Ammonia is well-positioned to <\/p>\n

support future ammonia bunkering in the Pilbara,\u201d said Tessa Major, VP <\/p>\n

Infrastructure Development & Demand Aggregation in Yara Clean Ammonia.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not just supplying ammonia\u2014we\u2019re helping shape the standards and <\/p>\n

infrastructure that will enable global maritime decarbonisation.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, YCA Switzerland SA (Yara Clean Ammonia), a subsidiary of <\/p>\n

Yara International ASA, entered into a time-charter contract with Nippon Yusen <\/p>\n

Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) to deliver an ammonia-fuelled medium gas carrier <\/p>\n

(AFMGC).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
