HMM has signed an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with LOTTE Fine Chemical which covers the bunkering of ammonia and methanol fuel.
According to the terms of the agreement inked today, HMM will transport ammonia fuel secured by LOTTE Fine Chemical and will be in charge of overall vessel operation during transit. LOTTE Fine Chemical, which owns Korea’s largest ammonia storage facility, intends to supply ammonia and methanol fuel to HMM’s vessel.
