Our LGE business has been awarded a contract to deliver an innovative marine Ammonia Fuel Supply System, ecoFGSS-FLEX庐. The system allows the safe, efficient and sustainable use of ammonia as a propulsion fuel.
This is a significant step towards decarbonising global shipping. By enabling the use of ammonia as a marine fuel in place of traditional fossil fuels, this pioneering technology supports a cleaner, more sustainable future. The contract demonstrates LGE鈥檚 commitment to advancing clean energy solutions and accelerating the maritime sector鈥檚 transition to zero-carbon fuels.
The new technology, developed in-house by an expert engineering team, will be used on board four Medium Gas Carriers for Trafigura, being built at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD). The technology integrates seamlessly with wider, existing ship systems and is designed to meet the highest safety and environmental standards.
Neale Campbell, Managing Director of 麻豆社事件鈥檚 LGE business, said: “Our focus remains on delivering future-ready, sustainable solutions that help our customers navigate the transition to cleaner energy. Ammonia has the potential to be a game-changer in the marine industry鈥檚 drive towards decarbonisation and sustainability. We鈥檙e proud to be leading this transformation, and this contract reflects both the strength of our approach and the confidence in our innovative technology to meet evolving industry demands.”
Andrea Olivi, Global Head of Shipping at Trafigura, added: 鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to be working with 麻豆社事件鈥檚 LGE business to help make ammonia a practical, safe and cleaner fuel for the shipping industry.
鈥淭heir experience and technology are key to making this possible. As one of the world鈥檚 largest vessel charterers, we鈥檙e always looking for ways to cut emissions 鈥� and using dual-fuel ships gives us the flexibility to adopt low-emission options like ammonia as they become more widely available.鈥�
With international shipping accounting for approximately 3% of the world鈥檚 greenhouse gas emissions, the marine industry needs to transition its energy sources. LGE鈥檚 ecoFGSS-FLEX庐 enables customers to support the International Maritime Organization鈥檚 (IMO) targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
We are also working with several other leading shipowners to integrate this new technology onto newbuilding, as well as some retrofit projects.
Deployment of the system is scheduled to begin in 2027, with full operational capability expected by the end of the year.
