Antwerpse rederij EXMAR neemt eerste door ammoniak aangedreven gastanker in gebruik
De Antwerpse rederij EXMAR heeft de MGC Antwerpen in gebruik genomen, de eerste gastanker die wordt aangedreven door een dual-fuel ammoniakmotor. Het schip kan bij gebruik van koolstofarme ammoniakbrandstof tot 90 procent minder broeikasgassen uitstoten dan conventionele schepen, zo stelt het bedrijf.
Belgian shipping company EXMAR has launched its new gas tanker, the MGC Antwerp. This vessel is notable for being the first of its kind to be powered by a dual-fuel ammonia engine. EXMAR states that when operating on low-carbon ammonia, the ship can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 90% compared to traditional vessels.
This development marks a significant step towards decarbonizing the maritime industry by introducing a cleaner fuel alternative for gas transportation.
