        挪威船级社DNV向中国船舶及海洋工程设计研究院（MARIC）设计的新型氨燃料预留卡姆萨尔型（Kamsarmax）宽体散货船授予原则性批准（AiP）。

 

        该船型采用浅吃水设计以实现灵活靠港，并预留风帆辅助推进系统（WAPS）安装条件。

 

        船舶总长229米，船宽增至38米，通过优化设计在同等吃水下增加载货容积。加强了船体结构，并为氨燃料舱与系统预留了改装空间。

 

        在配备了4,500立方米氨燃料舱的情况下，该船以氨为燃料，在设计航速下可实现超15,000海里的续航能力。

 

        MARIC副院长朱健璋表示：“能与DNV达成战略合作，一同设计出这艘9.1万载重吨的氨燃料散货船，我们对此感到很自豪。这彰显了我们推动绿色航运技术发展、加速行业低碳转型的决心。”

 

        “双方将协作攻克氨燃料方面的技术挑战，提供契合全球脱碳目标的解决方案，努力树立高效、清洁的散货船新标杆。”

 

        DNV海事中国技术中心总监Øyvind Pettersen称："此次AiP认证标志着氨燃料应用迈出关键一步，但要真正释放其潜力，仍需创新与安全双管齐下。DNV很荣幸参与此认证，推动业界增强对新型燃料的信心，携手迈向可持续未来。"

 

        绿氨正成为航运业实现温室气体减排目标、获取气候中和燃料的重要选项，尤其当其生产全程采用可再生能源及低碳原料时，其优势更为显著。2024年，非气体运输船领域首次出现氨燃料船舶订单（以散货船为主），凸显其市场可行性。

 

        然而，瑞典查尔姆斯理工大学近期的研究指出，航运业急于借氨燃料脱碳或引发新环境问题——氨的使用可能衍生多重生态风险。

MARIC’s new ammonia-ready bulker wins DNV AiP

 

Norwegian classification society DNV has awarded approval in principle (AiP) to China’s shipbuilding R&D institute Marine Design and Research Institute of China (MARIC) for its new wide beam ammonia-ready Kamsarmax bulk carrier.

 

As informed, the vessel has a shallow draft for flexible port calls and is wind-assisted propulsion system- (WAPS) ready.

 

With a length of 229 meters and an increased beam of 38 meters, the design has been optimized for more cargo volume at the same draft. The hull structure is reinforced, and space is reserved for an easier retrofit of both the ammonia tanks and system.

 

With 4,500 cbm capacity tanks, the vessel can cover more than 15,000 nautical miles at design speed – fueled on ammonia.

 

“We are proud to announce our strategic collaboration with DNV, to pioneer the design of a 91k dwt ammonia-fuelled bulk carrier. This partnership underscores our commitment to advancing green shipping technologies and accelerating the maritime industry’s transition to a low-carbon future,” Zhu Jianzhang, Vice President of MARIC, commented.

 

“By working together we can overcome the technical and operational challenges associated with ammonia as a marine fuel, deliver a cutting-edge solution that aligns with global decarbonization goals, and set a new benchmark for clean, efficient, and commercially viable bulk carriers.”

 

“Awarding MARIC this AiP is another milestone in advancing ammonia as a marine fuel. However, realizing its potential demands both innovation and an unwavering focus on safety… DNV is very proud to collaborate on this AiP, which will strengthen confidence in new fuels, and further shipping’s journey toward a more sustainable tomorrow,” Øyvind Pettersen, Head of Technical Centre China, at DNV Maritime, said.

 

Green ammonia is emerging as a strong candidate for the climate-neutral fuel shipping needs to meet its greenhouse gas reduction goals, especially when produced from renewably produced energy and inputs. In 2024, the first orders for non-gas carrier ammonia-fuelled vessels were placed, mainly in the bulk carrier segment, highlighting ammonia’s emergence as a real option in the alternative fuel market.

 

However, a recent study by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden found that an eagerness to rid the shipping sector of carbon emissions by using ammonia might create entirely new problems instead as several environmental problems can be traced to the use of ammonia.
