Fish in warm waters most at risk from ammonia fuel spills, says report

Spills during ammonia’s use as a shipping fuel would be most dangerous to fish in warmer and less saline waters, a report has found.

The study into the potential marine environmental impacts from bunkering operations, ship collisions and sinkings found estuaries, mangroves and wetlands are particularly sensitive to potential ammonia spills compared with the polar regions and deep sea.
