World's First Ammonia-Fueled Gas Carrier Deal Signed!

The world’s 1st ammonia-fueled gas carrier is now a reality! Yara Clean Ammonia and NYK have signed a historic deal to charter this groundbreaking vessel, set for delivery in November 2026.

This ammonia-fueled medium gas carrier (AFMGC) will help slash greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport—paving the way for a cleaner future in global shipping.

Since 2021, Yara and NYK have been working on making ammonia-fueled shipping a reality. Now, their efforts have led to the first-ever charter contract for an AFMGC.

Yara Clean Ammonia is the world’s largest ammonia distributor. By collaborating with NYK, they are ensuring a low-carbon supply chain from ‘well to wake.’

NYK is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. This next-gen ammonia-fueled vessel is a major step toward reducing carbon intensity in global shipping.

The ship will be 180m long, 32m wide, and have a 40,000m³ capacity. It is designed to transport ammonia for use in power generation, marine fuel, and industrial applications.

A clean shipping revolution is underway. With this ammonia-fueled vessel, Yara & NYK are reshaping the future of maritime transport. Is this the beginning of a new era for sustainable shipping?
