NoGAPS: Nordic Green Ammonia Powered Ships Phase 2 report: Commercialising early ammonia-powered vessels
The first phase of the project, between 2020 and 2021, developed a holistic proof of concept for an ammonia-powered gas carrier, covering ship design and safety, the supply of clean ammonia, and commercial viability.
It generated two main conclusions: • Neither technical considerations nor regulatory approvals present major obstacles to putting an ammonia-powered gas carrier on the water. • Rather, the most important challenge to be overcome is building a business model that is credible in the eyes of financiers and operators.
The second, and current, phase of the project has picked up where the first phase left off, examining the detailed design requirements, including producing an initial ship design for M/S NoGAPS with Approval in Principle1 , as well as pathways for commercialising the vessel.
