The 25,000-cbm ammonia bunker vessel has fuel storage tanks that can be fully or partially pressurised based on the type of liquefied gas stored.

The vessel is designed for ammonia bunkering and can also function as a carrier. It can operate for up to 55 days without refuelling, according to Seatrium.

The company has not revealed when construction will begin or where the vessel will be deployed.
