A project spearheaded by the consortium to build an ammonia carrier is moving onto the detailed design phase.

The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping said the Nordic Green Ammonia Powered Ships (NoGaps) project is moving into its second phase.

The research and development organisation said this will involve producing a detailed ship design for the vessel, which will also be fuelled by ammonia, and is the basis for “a potential shipyard tender and the construction of the vessel”.
