The first ammonia-fuel ready vessel in the world has been delivered to owners Avin International.
The Greek-flagged, 274-metre-long Suezmax tanker Kriti Future was built by China's New Times Shipbuilding (NTS) to ABS class requirements.
Currently conventionally fueled, the vessel complies with the ABS Ammonia Ready Level 1 requirements, indicating it is designed to be converted to run on ammonia in the future.
The tanker also meets the ABS LNG Fuel Ready Level 1 requirements. This indicates the vessel conforms to the requirements outlined in the ABS Guide for Gas and Other Low-Flashpoint Fuel Ready Vessels.
