Eastern Pacific Shipping has loaded its first large green ammonia ship at Ulsan Port in South Korea. This ship, known as a Very Large Ammonia Carrier (VLAC), is named "Terra Clove" and its fuel is produced at the green ammonia plant of Envision Energy in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia.
Details of Green Ammonia Fuel Loading
This green fuel has been physically delivered to the "Terra Clove" ship from the Korean producer, Lotte Fine Chemical. The Envision Energy plant in Chifeng has an annual production capacity of 320,000 tons of green ammonia and plans to increase this capacity to 1.52 million tons per year. This capacity increase demonstrates Envision Energy's commitment to sustainable development and carbon reduction in the maritime transport industry.

Equipment and Technologies Used
The "Terra Clove" ship is equipped with an ammonia dual-fuel engine of the "Everllence" type, capable of operating with 95% ammonia and 5% diesel fuel. This innovative technology helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels and is considered an important step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime transport industry.
The use of green ammonia as fuel can meet the increasing energy demands with minimal environmental impact. This becomes particularly significant as various countries strive to achieve carbon reduction goals and stabilize energy resources. It is expected that with the expansion of green ammonia use, the maritime transport industry will move towards greater carbon reduction.
While various companies are testing and implementing alternative fuels, the loading of the "Terra Clove" ship at Ulsan Port is a notable example of progress in this field. This initiative not only contributes to sustainable energy supply but can also serve as a model for other companies in the maritime transport industry.
