As the maritime industry is looking to bend the carbon curve towards zero, green ammonia is one of the most promising options.
As production is scaled, the ease of transport and storage and good energy density, offers some advantages over other low or zero carbon options - provided the technical and safety challenges are managed. The Viridis Bulk Carriers design, developed by Kongsberg Maritime, is for 5,000 dwt short seas vessels that offer a range (3,000 nm) and safety levels equivalent to conventionally fuelled vessels.
We are delighted with yet another milestone for our ammonia powered short sea bulk vessel,' says
We are extremely proud to announce the successful grant of the Approval in Principle (AiP) for Viridis Bulk Carriers' groundbreaking project,'
For the AiP, DNV has reviewed the design of the vessel for compliance with the 2023 revision of the rules for the DNV Gas Fuelled Ammonia class notation as found in Pt.6 CH.2 Sec.14. The 2023 revision will be published in
An Approval in Principle (AiP) is an independent assessment of a concept within an agreed framework, confirming that the design is feasible, and no significant obstacles exist to prevent the concept from being realized.
