On April 29, the Crown Prince of Norway, Haakon Magnus, celebrated the christening of Yara Birkeland, the world’s first electric, autonomous container vessel.

Yara International and Azane Fuel Solutions have signed a commercial agreement to establish a carbon-free ammonia fuel bunker network in Scandinavia.

To make zero-emissions shipping a reality by using ammonia as a fuel, Yara recognizes the need for value chain collaboration, and announced that it became a member of The Society for Gas as a Marine Fuel (SGMF).

Yara has been granted NOK 283.25 million from Enova for the development of an initiative to produce green ammonia. With this Yara officially takes the first step towards full decarbonisation of the ammonia plant at Herøya in Porsgrunn.

The Yara Birkeland, the world’s first autonomous and fully electric container ship, will soon commence commercial operations, after a two-year test period, before entering full autonomous operation.

The Castor Initiative, the global coalition that is committed to make zero emission shipping a reality, recently welcomed the Jurong Port as a new partner.

The world's first electric and self-propelled container ship “Yara Birkeland” has departed for its maiden voyage in the Oslo fjord.

Yara Marine Technologies stands behind the Call to Action for Shipping Decarbonization and urge the whole industry to follow and move rapidly on decarbonization.

Yara, JERA, and Idemitsu Kosan, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore the establishment of a domestic clean ammonia distribution network and bunkering business, accelerating Japan’s green energy transition.

Amid a growing discussion on ammonia as an attractive fuel solution to decarbonization, Japanese entities NYK Line, Nihon Shipyard, and ClassNK inked a MoU with Yara International to jointly study the practical application of an ammonia-fueled ammonia gas carrier that uses ammonia as its main fuel.
