AT the recent Nor-Shipping conference and exhibition at Lillestrom, China's Jiangnan shipyard said they are planning for next generation zero-emission vessels including ammonia and nuclear-powered vessels, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
A subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) is a state-owned conglomerate that owns some of the most well-known shipyards in China.
These include Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company, Jiangnan Shipyard, Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding, Guangzhou Huangpu Shipbuilding and Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard.
The company is now beginning to look at ammonia powered vessels to provide zero emission marine propulsion: 'For zero emission ships Jiangnan believes ammonia fuelled propulsion will be the more practical solution rather than hydrogen.'
The company says it has rich experience in designing and fabricating the containment system of ammonia. Jiangnan says it has secured 'firm contracts' for its Very Large Ammonia Carrier based on a Jiangnan design.
Company officials said the company has plans to build a nuclear-powered containership with a capacity of 24,000 TEU. They believe that new nuclear technology will make the ship safe.
The Jiangnan Shipyard officially released the ship type design of the 24,000-TEU class nuclear powered containership in 2023.
