NYK Line and Elomatic Oy, a Finnish maritime consulting and engineering firm, launched the development of a concept design for “Ammonia-fuel Ready LNG-Fueled Vessel” (ARLFV), which covers the transition to future marine fuel.
Namely, the concept design for “Ammonia-fuel Ready LNG-Fueled Vessel” (ARLFV) can be converted to a ship using ammonia as a marine fuel once its supply is ready.
ARLFV is set as a “Next Bridge Solution” to cover the transition of the marine fuel from LNG to ammonia.
The development of a concept design is being conducted by the NYK Group and Elomatic between September 2021 and January 2022 to identify and explore challenges to the actual design and construction of ARLFV.
Concluding, the results of development will be released in a video with accompanying 3D models in January 2022 at the time of the project’s completion.
