A first guide on the use of ammonia as a marine fuel will be published this year by the Society for Gas as a Marine Fuel (SGMF), which has just completed the third version of its initial cornerstone publication on LNG fuelling.

SGMF general manager Mark Bell told TradeWinds that it will be an introductory guide but added that the information is more difficult to obtain for ammonia than for LNG as it is an emerging sector.
