KR and HD Hyundai advance Korea’s green corridor with ammonia vessel trial
HHI recently conducted
a sea trial of Korea’s first ammonia dual-fuel propulsion vessel. The trial
generated operational data on the vessel’s fuel supply system and engine, which
will provide a valuable technical foundation for KR’s future development of
domestic guidelines for environmentally friendly vessel operations and
supporting wider maritime decarbonization efforts. A spokesperson for HD Hyundai said, “Drawing
on our group’s R&D capabilities and on-site technical expertise, we have
made meaningful progress in advancing the application of ammonia as a marine
fuel. We expect this to help enhance a sustainable maritime ecosystem while
strengthening the competitiveness of Korea’s shipbuilding industry.” “The close
collaboration between KR and HD Hyundai has enabled us to build the technical
foundation for introducing ammonia-fueled vessels in Korea,” said Kim Daeheon,
executive vice president of KR’s R&D Division,. “We will continue to drive
national projects forward together with HD Hyundai and establish technical
standards befitting the era of Green Shipping Corridors.”
