The fuel supply system in vessels delivers and manages marine fuel from storage tanks to the engine, ensuring proper filtration, pressure and flow for efficient combustion.

The approval follows the successful completion of a Joint Development Project (JDP) between LR and HD KSOE, initiated in April 2024. The main goal of the JDP was to develop and refine the design concept of an ammonia fuel supply system for ammonia-powered vessels.

“This fuel supply system addresses the pressing need for sustainable fuel solutions, significantly contributing to efforts aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the global fleet,” LR says.
