KR grants AiP for ultra-large ammonia carrier and signs MoU for ammonia-fuelled container ship

KR has granted an Approval in Principle (AiP) for the 150K ultra-large ammonia carrier developed by Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI), and also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SHI for the development of 9,300 teu ammonia-fuelled container ships.

SHI will design the main system layout for applying ammonia fuel to neo-panamax 9,300 tey container ships while KR will verify the design compliance through the review of classification rules as well as domestic and international regulations, ultimately granting an AiP.
