GCMD: Ammonia transfers are feasible but need frameworks
The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) has successfully completed a pioneering pilot transferring liquid ammonia between two gas carriers to trial safety protocols and operational guidelines for bunkering at the Western Anchorage WA19 near Port Dampier in Pilbara, Western Australia.
As explained in the “Path to Zero-Carbon Shipping” report, the trial involved the ship-to-ship transfer of 2,700 metric tonnes (MT) of ammonia, equivalent to 4,000 cubic metres (m³), at a rate of 700–800 cubic metres per hour (m³/hr) between the Green Pioneer and the Navigator Global, reflecting realistic metrics for a typical bunkering operation.
