Belgian owner Exmar will become the first shipowner in the world to take delivery of ammonia powered ships in the first half of 2026. Exmar has two 46,000 cu m LPG carriers contracted earlier this year with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, with these ships set to be able to operate on ammonia or LPG. The engines will be delivered by WINGD and the fuel supply system by Wärtsilä Gas Solutions. "As leading global transporters of ammonia, we are proud to be developing vessels with an operational carbon footprint reduction of 90%, which significantly exceeds the International Maritime Organization's emissions reduction targets. This is possible thanks to the decades of experience of Exmar's operational and technical teams, and the joint effort and contribution of all our project partners," said Carl-Antoine Saverys, executive director at Exmar.
