UK Welcomes World’s First Ammonia-Powered Vessel for Maritime Decarbonisation

The UK has welcomed the world’s first dual-fuelled ammonia-powered vessel, the Fortescue Green Pioneer, marking a significant step towards maritime decarbonisation. The Singapore-flagged vessel is powered by a four-stroke engine that can run on ammonia and diesel. This zero-carbon fuel is expected to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions in shipping. The UK Government fully supports this initiative, which aligns with its objectives for sustainable maritime transportation.
