NYK: Ammonia fuel ship goes into service: In 2026
-The ACE card for decarbonization! –
NYK Line:
On the 26th, with Japan Shipyard etc.
Equipped with a domestic ammonia fuel engine,
Develop an ammonia transport vessel.
Announced that it will be put into service by 2026.
Adopted for NEDO project:
Recently, it was adopted as a project of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
The project period is a total of 7 years until FY2015.
It is also useful for the development of safety guidelines and laws and regulations for ammonia fuel ships.
The business scale is about 12.3 billion yen.

Demonstration Project Begins for Commercialization of Vessels Equipped with Domestically Produced Ammonia-Fueled Engine
NYK Line Japan Engine Corporation
IHI Power Systems Co., Ltd.

Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK)
NYK Line,are pleased to announce that Japan’s NEDO)has approved the Companies’ participation in a demonstration project for the commercialization of vessels
equipped with a domestically produced ammonia-fueled engine as part of the Green Innovation Fund project.*
The demonstration project,
which is scheduled to begin in December with ClassNK added to the Companies,(1) Development and operation of an ammonia-fueled tugboat (A-Tug)
The ammonia fuel will have a flame retardant bottleneck, which is difficult to ignite,
so this project assumes that a small amount of fuel oil will be used as pilot fuel.
Targeting the delivery of A-Tug in FY2024,
the companies aim to reduce GHG emissions by achieving an ammonia fuel mixed combustion rate of 80% or higher.
aims to use ammonia as fuel to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during voyages and thus introduce an ammonia-fueled vessel for the good of society earlier than 2030.
(2) Development and operation of an ammonia-fueled ammonia gas carrier (AFAGC)
Targeting the ship’s delivery in FY2026,
the Companies will develop and operate an ammonia-fueled ammonia gas carrier (AFAGC)
with the concept of transporting ammonia as cargo and using the cargo and ammonia gas vaporized from the cargo as fuel during the voyage.
