'Certification of New Marine Technology for the "Eco-friendly Alternative Fuel Ship Demonstration System"'

Simultaneous Loading of Three or More Types Including Ammonia
World's First Technology, Expected to Lead the Market

The Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) announced on the 27th that in the second half of this year, a 'ship demonstration system using eco-friendly alternative fuels subject to verification, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG)-ammonia mixed fuel,' was selected as a new marine and fisheries technology.

The certified system is the world's first technology capable of simultaneously carrying three or more types of eco-friendly alternative fuels, including ammonia, secondary batteries, and hydrogen, enabling ship propulsion demonstration. It is expected to play a significant role in the development of domestic eco-friendly ship technology and in securing a leading position in the eco-friendly ship market. KRISO plans to install this technology on the eco-friendly alternative fuel sea demonstration ship (K-GTB) and begin demonstrations from 2025.

Gang Hee-jin, head of KRISO's Eco-friendly Fuel Propulsion Research Center, said, "As the transition to eco-friendly ships accelerates, we believed that rapid demonstration to ensure safety and reliability, as well as the development of related technologies and equipment, is essential, which led us to develop this technology. We will do our best to ensure smooth demonstration of domestic eco-friendly ship technologies in the future."
