HD KSOE ammonia equipment approvals

The AiPs were given by Lloyd's Register (LR) and the Liberian International Ship & Corporate Registry (LISCR) for its ammonia cargo operation system and ammonia fuel supply system, which can be used in conjunction with LPG.

While ammonia is a zero emission fuel, demand for its transportation is also growing as it serves as a “carrier” for hydrogen, establishing it as a vital link in advancing the hydrogen economy.

Kim Sung-Joon, CEO & Senior Executive Vice President of SD Business at HD KSOE, said that “ammonia is likely to be essential for achieving carbon neutrality in the long term, and we will maintain a leading position in the upcoming ammonia fuel propulsion ship market based on our current technological superiority.”

 “HD KSOE is one of the world’s leading shipbuilding groups by designing and building high quality and innovative ships, and the development of both ammonia cargo operation and ammonia fuel supply systems confirms HD KSOE’s leading position to accelerate the maritime industry’s pursuit towards net-zero GHG emissions for international shipping,” said Jung Sik Kim, Managing Director of LISCR Korea.
