DNV and Bureau Veritas have awarded Approvals in Principle (AIP) for an ammonia fuel-supply system (FSS) developed for marine engine applications by MAN Cryo.
The company, part of MAN Energy Solutions, is a specialist in the storage and handling of LNG and natural gas. It has worked on developing the new ammonia FSS in cooperation with China’s Yada Green Energy Solutions, a company with which it has previously developed systems designed for LNG and methanol marine fuels.
“Yada and MAN Cryo are customer-centric operators, providing high-quality, dual-fuel system solutions and continuously achieving new breakthroughs in handling methanol and ammonia,” declared Xiang Guangqing, chairman of the Chinese company.
“Yada Green Energy Solutions has set ambitious goals to accelerate the green transformation of the global transportation industry,” he continued. “Working together to support global development, understanding and anticipating customer needs is an important driving force for our daily work. MAN Cryo and Yada will unite with industry peers, embrace innovation and cooperation, and jointly move towards the sustainable future of global shipping.”
Henrik Malm, managing director of MAN Energy Solutions Sweden, said: "We are pleased to announce the successful achievement of a significant strategic milestone for MAN Cryo in cooperation with Yada Green Energy Solutions … The establishment of a secure and reliable fuel supply system for future ammonia engines marks a pivotal development."
“Shipowners can rest assured that MAN Cryo, in cooperation with Yada Green Energy Solutions, is delivering a market-ready solution adhering to the highest security standards and embodying world-class engineering,” he added. “Once again, MAN Cryo has demonstrated pioneering leadership in the engineering of fuel supply systems for emerging fuel solutions. This achievement further solidifies our position as industry innovators, dedicated to advancing cutting-edge solutions in response to the evolving landscape of sustainable energy.”
MAN Cryo supplied the first LNG fuel-gas system for the Glutra ferry in Norway in 1999. In 2013, it supplied the world’s first LNG bunker vessel – SeaGas – with operations in Stockholm, Sweden. The company recently delivered the first liquid hydrogen fuel-gas supply system to be installed below deck on board a ship.
