A Giant Leap Toward Sustainable Shipping: Ammonia Dual-Fuel Vessel Launched

STX Service Americas, LLC celebrates a groundbreaking milestone achieved by STX Engine and partners in Korea. On November 27, the first-ever ammonia dual-fuel test vessel was launched in Goseong. This innovative vessel, a collaboration of 15 cutting-edge companies, including STX Engine, marks a significant leap toward decarbonizing maritime transport.

This 36-meter, 500-ton vessel utilizes a hybrid fuel system combining ammonia—a carbon-neutral alternative—with fossil fuels. By dramatically reducing CO₂ emissions, it aligns with the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) carbon neutrality goals and showcases a proactive solution for the maritime industry's stricter environmental regulations.

As part of this transformative project, STX Engine contributed to developing key components, including engines and emission control systems tailored for ammonia dual-fuel usage.
