The role of the classification societies, like Lloyd’s Register and ABS, is “to determine potential hazards throughout the design phase” and provide technical guidance to ensure safe and responsible design of ships. ABS announced a project to “produce designs for an ammonia-fueled Chittagongmax container carrier of 2700 TEU capacity.” And Lloyd’s Register also announced a project for “an ammonia-fuelled 23,000 TEU Ultra-Large Container Ship (ULCS) concept design.” (TEU, or Twenty-foot Equivalent Units, is the container ship industry’s standard cargo unit.)Īll three projects are working with the two-stroke ammonia engine developed by MAN Energy Solutions, and all are led by major shipbuilders in China. Lloyd’s Register has granted Approval in Principle (AiP) for the design of a 180,000 ton bulk carrier. Three separate projects to design a range of ammonia-fueled vessels were announced last week at a shipping industry conference in China.
