MISC, Samsung Heavy Industries Secure Approval for World’s First Amonia-Fuelled LR2 Tanker

MISC Berhad, in collaboration with South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI), has achieved a key milestone in sustainable shipping with the Approval in Principle (AiP) from Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV) for their pioneering design of the world’s first ammonia-fuelled LR2 tanker. The vessel will be powered by Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) technology, supported by an integrated Ammonia Cracking System (ACS).

The AiP validates the technical feasibility and initial compliance of the design with global maritime rules and industry standards.
