ClassNK has issued an Approval in Principle (AiP) for an Ammonia FSRU (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit) jointly developed by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding.
The Ammonia FSRU, developed by MOL and Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, is expected to contribute to the development of ammonia value chain as an alternative carbon neutral fuel. Upon confirming it complies with the prescribed requirements, ClassNK issued the AiP.
ClassNK carried out a review of a conceptual design of the Ammonia FSRU based on its Part N of Rules for the Survey and Construction of Steel Ships for ships carrying liquefied gases in bulk, “Guidelines for Floating Offshore Facilities for LNG/LPG Production, Storage, Offloading and Regasification” and the other relevant rules, and examined risk assessment taking into account the results of gas dispersion study.
