Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore ＆ Engineering Co., Ltd., successfully secured an order for liquefied ammonia fuel tanks to be used on the world’s first ammonia-powered bulk carrier, the company announced.
Upon completion, these fuel tanks will be installed on the world’s first ammonia-fueled bulk carrier being constructed by Qingdao Beihai Shipyard. Qingdao SunRui, acting as the total package supplier for the ammonia fuel gas system, has partnered again with CIMC SOE following their successful collaboration on a dual-fuel bulk carrier LNG fuel tank project. Together, they will work closely to ensure the smooth delivery of this highly anticipated global project. The series of ships will be equipped with WinGD’s world-first ammonia engine, ammonia fuel gas system, and liquefied ammonia fuel tanks, truly achieving zero-carbon emission propulsion through clean fuel.
For this project, which involves the ammonia fuel tanks for the world’s first ammonia-powered bulk carrier, high-pressure cylindrical tanks have been selected. Each tank will have a geometric capacity of 3,000 cubic meters, measuring 31 meters in length and 12 meters in diameter, both featuring hemispherical heads. The order comprises a total of twelve 3,000 cubic meter ammonia fuel tanks for six sets of vessels, all of which will be autonomously designed and constructed by CIMC SOE.
