Yara and Kongsberg have joined forces to build the "YARA Birkeland", the world's first fully electric and autonomous container ship, with zero emissions which s expected to be capable of performing fully autonomous operations from 2020.

Yara Marine Technologies announced that it has been awarded a contract for the supply of hybrid scrubber systems on two RoRo vessels to global logistics company Toll. Work is underway on the first vessel at Jinling Shipyard in Nanjing, China.

Yara Marine Technologies announced that it has been awarded a contract for the supply of hybrid scrubber systems for Saga Cruises’ latest newbuilding with an option for a second vessel. The vessel is already under construction at Meyer Werft in Germany.

Yara Marine Technologies announced that it has been awarded a contract for the supply of scrubber systems on four container feeder vessels that will be operated by German ship manager Jüngerhans Maritime Services GmbH & Co. (Jüngerhans) on the North Sea.

The UN-backed IMO has set new rules to cut sulfur emissions from ships to 0.5% from 2020. Yara is easing shipowners’ concerns over additional costs by offering a cost-effective solution compared to low-sulfur fuel.

Yara Marine Technologies has successfully delivered, commissioned and certified a multi engine inlet, inline SOx scrubber system for two of Hyundai Heavy Industries operating LPG vessels, Yara Kara and Yara Nauma.

 Yara has a fleet of tanker vessels dedicated to transporting carbon dioxide. This fleet of three ships is now completely modernized, with Yara Gerda, named after a figure in Norse mythology, starting service this month.Yara Gerda is a new dedicated liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) marine tanker replacing an older tanker. Yara’s CO2 is used in the beverage business (carbonation), food business (chilling, freezing), air catering (cold chain assurance) and greenhouse businesses. Yara is Europe's No.1 producer and No.3 retailer of liquid CO2.“CO2 touches our lives every day,” says Petter Østbø, Yara’s Vice President Gas and Industrial Applications.“It provides us with the fizz in our beverages, the freshness of our groceries and of our meals on flights. Being a major European player in this market means that Yara adds something positive to the daily lives of millions of Europeans.”Why ships?Reliability is at the core of Yara’s value proposition as a CO2 supplier. This is a business with peaks and seasonality, especially around the summer. Customers’ processes rely on continuous, just-in-time deliveries. Some customers receive Yara CO2 several times a day. Any delivery delay has the potential to rapidly halt production at our customers who depend on our CO2.“Supply reliability is clearly ...

Commercial ships are heavy emitters of harmful nitrogen oxides NOx and sulphur oxides (SOx). These exhaust gases are created when burning fossil fuels. They have negative consequences for our health (asthma) and the environment (acid rain). Yara has over the past years expanded its emissions to air (E2A) portfolio through a combination of innovation projects and acquisitions.The acquisitions of H+H and Green Tech Marine enabled Yara to become a total solution provider for both NOx and SOx emissions at sea. They provide Yara with technology uniqueness. H+H is the market leader in marine NOx reduction technology, while Yara Marine Technologies (formerly Green Tech Marine) has developed an innovative high-performance and energy-saving solution for reducing the SOx emissions in the maritime and offshore industries. The smallest scrubber in the market make it easy to retrofit any seagoing vessel by simply replacing ship’s exhaust silencer without the need of structural modifications. As a consequence the installation and commissioning of the scrubber can even be done while sailing. Yara is taking steps to improve on  internal emissions and a good example for that is the new ammonia ships, which will be equipped with Yara's emissions control technology.
