🌿 Norwegian companies Egil Ulvan Rederi, Norske Skog and Provaris Energy have signed a contract to build the world's first timber carrier powered by ammonia
⚓️ Key project details:
✅ The vessel will be named With Orca and will be the first commercial dry cargo vessel powered by ammonia.
✅ Construction is underway in India at the Cochin Shipyard.
✅ The vessel is 88 m long and has a cargo capacity of 5,000 tons.
✅ The main fuel is green ammonia, which provides zero CO₂ emissions
📌 What does this mean for shipping?
🚢 Ammonia is a promising fuel that can help the industry achieve decarbonization goals.
🌍 The project is financed by European green transition programs.
🛳 The ship is expected to start operations in 2026, transporting Norske Skog products
💣 🔥Well, all the green ones can be invited to work at the Ministry of Defense, when it will be necessary to service the ammonia pumps, change filters, take this fuel on board, they can breathe in the “green fresh” air and strike a lighter…, all this is also good for health…
But, if you cross the crews off the list of people, then it’s definitely normal! 👌
