Alfa Laval completes FAT for ammonia fuel supply system

Alfa Laval has completed the factory acceptance test (FAT) for its FCM Ammonia fuel supply system. Together with class certification from China Classification Society, the fuel system is now confirmed as engineered and tested for safe integration into a two-stroke ammonia-fuelled engine setup.

The FAT for the first FCM Ammonia system, seven of which have been ordered by Tianjin Southwest Maritime for its dual-fuel ammonia carriers, confirms that system development has now been completed and ready for commercial applications.

Alfa Laval’s Roberto Comelli, Europe E&S Manager, Marine Separation & Fuel Supply Systems, commented: “By completing the certified FAT for Alfa Laval’s FCM Ammonia, one of the first in the industry for a two-stroke dual-fuel ammonia application, we position ourselves as frontrunners supporting the safe adoption of ammonia in commercial shipping. This milestone confirms that our ammonia fuel supply technology has reached a new level of industrial maturity, and together with our partners, we are ready from design to production and will help the industry transition.”
