RINA and SDARI to Develop Methanol/Ammonia Fuelled Tanker Design
RINA, a leading global classification society, and the Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute (SDARI) have signed recently a Joint Development Project Agreement to develop a ground-breaking ship design capable of being fuelled by either ammonia or methanol.

Within the Agreement, SDARI will focus on the ship concept development and design while RINA will verify the compliance with the applicable rules, including those for the use of alternative fuels. The selected ship type is a tanker but the project, which is the first to investigate using both methanol and ammonia in this type of vessel, will increase understanding of the application of both fuels within the shipping industry with opportunities to apply designs to different types of ships. External support to the project will be provided by MAN Energy Solutions, a leader in dual fuel innovation.
