Two ammonia fuelled Newcastlemax vessels on order
Our latest move towards a zero carbon future.
The use of ammonia fuel represents an important milestone in Berge Bulk’s ambition to decarbonise.
On order from Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, two new Berge Bulk 210,000-DWT Newcastlemax vessels will meet the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) Tier III NOx (nitrogen oxides) standards, and Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) Phase 3 compliance for greenhouse gas emissions.
With our commitment to operate a zero emissions vessel by 2030, these two ammonia dual fuel vessels will form an essential pillar in our plan.
A Promising Zero Carbon Fuel
Green ammonia is a promising fuel for the future of the shipping industry and Berge Bulk has been actively engaged in discussions with key players in the ammonia supply chain.
Encouraged by the steady progress being made with the development of ammonia engines and the logistics of ammonia bunkering, we’re proud to play an active role in the transition from today’s hydrocarbon fuels to tomorrow’s zero carbon ammonia-powered ships.
