Alfa Laval & Hanwha Ocean Boost Ammonia Fuel Systems

Alfa Laval and Hanwha Ocean have joined forces to accelerate the development of advanced ammonia fuel systems for dual-fuel vessels, marking a significant step towards maritime decarbonization. This strategic collaboration, formalized by an MoU signed at Kormarine 2025 in Busan, aims to deliver safer and more efficient sustainable shipping solutions. By combining their strengths, the companies are addressing the urgent need for lower-carbon fuels within the global maritime industry, pioneering a path for environmental sustainability.

Driving Innovation in Ammonia Fuel Technology

Under this new partnership, Alfa Laval will contribute its extensive technical expertise in ammonia fuel supply systems, including its sophisticated ammonia release mitigation system (ARMS), crucial for safe operation. Hanwha Ocean Ecotech complements this by providing its profound experience in marine system engineering and integration. This synergy ensures a holistic approach to developing robust and reliable clean energy solutions that meet the stringent demands of modern shipping.

Pioneering Sustainable Maritime Solutions

Beyond joint development, the collaboration encompasses business development activities and project cooperation, with plans already underway for a pivotal pilot installation. This initial project will serve as a foundation for further cooperative efforts, demonstrating the practical application and benefits of their integrated ammonia fuel technologies. This alliance underscores a shared commitment to empowering the maritime sector’s transition towards a more environmentally responsible future.
