Hydrogen technology

Ammonia (NH3) is used as a fuel for ship engines, emitting no carbon dioxide when combusted. It is energy-dense, scalable for long-haul ships, and benefits from existing global infrastructure due to its use in agriculture and chemical industries.

Propulsion configurations that are designed to be converted into fully functioning ammonia engines as adoption of the fuel accelerates, allowing for future retrofitting.

Engines developed by CMB.Tech that can operate on traditional fuels as well as ammonia, providing transitional flexibility during the industry's shift to alternative fuels.

A partnership between Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and CMB.Tech to design, construct, and deploy nine ammonia-powered vessels comprising three Newcastlemax bulk carriers and six chemical tankers with phased deliveries from 2026 to 2029.

Three 210,000-deadweight-ton bulk carriers equipped with ammonia propulsion technologies. These vessels represent large-scale commercial application of ammonia fuel for maritime transport.

Propulsion engines developed by CMB.Tech that can operate on both traditional fuels and ammonia, providing transitional flexibility during the maritime industry's shift to alternative fuels.

Six chemical tankers equipped with ammonia propulsion systems, with four featuring ammonia-ready configurations that can be converted to full ammonia combustion as the technology matures.
