World’s first ammonia-powered container ship,
Efforts are on in Norway to build the world’s first ammonia-powered container ship, which is expected to enter service by 2026. Yara Eyde will travel between Oslo, Brevik, Hamburg, and Bremerhaven and is optimized for the commercial corridor between Norway and Europe.
The project is being commissioned by Norwegian ammonia manufacturer Yara International's subsidiary Yara Clean Energy in collaboration with maritime logistics firm North Sea Container Line. The vessel will be operated by NCL Oslo, a firm formed as part of the new cooperation between the firms.
