World’s First Carbon-free, Ammonia-powered Vessel Completes Traditional Maritime Renaming Ceremony
Amogy, a provider of mature, scalable, and efficient ammonia-to-power solutions, hosted a traditional renaming ceremony for the NH3 Kraken, officially welcoming the vessel to the water.
The world’s first carbon-free, ammonia-powered vessel is now one step closer to demonstration.
The historic tugboat is set to complete its maiden voyage on a tributary of the Hudson River in late summer. Originally built in 1957, the NH3 Kraken has passed through multiple owners and has been known by various names.

“Today’s ceremony marks a significant moment as we edge closer to making maritime history and transforming one of the world’s oldest industries,” said Amogy CEO Seonghoon Woo. “The retrofit of the NH3 Kraken is nearing completion, and, soon, we will celebrate not just validation of our proprietary technology in maritime vessels, but also the beginning of a new era. This venture allows us the extraordinary opportunity to forge a greener future for generations to come.”
The NH3 Kraken will prove how ammonia can be safely used as a primary fuel, either in new builds or retrofitted vessels.
The vessel is named for Amogy’s innovative ammonia “cracking” technology, which converts liquid ammonia (NH3) into its base elements of hydrogen and nitrogen, then funnels the hydrogen into a fuel cell, generating high-performance power with zero carbon emissions.
Amogy is focusing this new clean technology on applications in hard-to-abate sectors such as maritime shipping and power generation.
