The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore has authorised a subsidiary of ITOCHU to conduct ammonia bunkering trials in the Port of Singapore to advance the technical readiness of the alternative fuel A wholly owned subsidiary of Japan’s ITOCHU Corp has been authorised by Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) to conduct ammonia bunkering trials in Singapore. The authorisation follows MPA’s review of ZETA Bunkering Pte’s submissions, which included comprehensive safety studies, risk assessments, and business plans for ammonia bunkering in Singapore. The ammonia bunkering trials will support the verification of technical readiness, operational protocols, infrastructure, and technologies to assess and inform the development of safe and environmentally sustainable ammonia bunkering practices in Singapore. Effective as of 15 May 2026, the authorisation for the trial period will last two years, subject to MPA’s prevailing regulatory framework.These trials will advance ITOCHU’s plans to develop and own ammonia-fuelled vessels and establish a global supply chain for the zero-carbon fuel. ITOCHU’s subsidiary, Clean Ammonia Bunkering Shipping, ordered a 5,000-m3ammonia bunkering vessel from Sasaki Shipbuilding. Plans call for the Singapore-flagged bunkering vessel to be delivered in September 2027. The vessel will be under the technical management of Bernhard Schulte Management. ITOCHU plans to conduct demonstration trials in collaboration with Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), supplying ammonia fuel from the ammonia bunker vessel to dual-fuel Capesize bulkers, jointly owned by CMB.TECH NV (Belgium) and MOL, and chartered by MOL, within the port of Singapore during Q4 2027, subject to the relevant regulatory approvals. Publicly traded CMB.TECH has a diverse fleet of approximately 250 vessels, including dry bulk vessels, crude oil tankers, chemical tankers, container vessels, offshore energy vessels, and port vessels. CMB.TECH offers hydrogen and ammonia fuel to customers through its own production and third-party producers. As of 1 June 2026, CMB.TECH increased its equity stake in marine fuel supplier TFG Marine from 10 to 15% through an issuance of new shares. The transaction extends the existing marine fuel supply agreement to cover the bunker fuel requirements of CMB.TECH and its affiliates. As a result, CMB.TECH owns a 15% stake in TFG Marine, with the remaining interest held by Trafigura (70%) and Frontline Plc (15%). Widely traded for use in the production of fertiliser, ammonia (NH3) is seen as a viable alternative fuel because it is an excellent hydrogen carrier and does not contain carbon. But it is also highly toxic, requiring special monitoring and handling during bunkering, fuel supply, and combustion to minimise the risk to the crew, shore-side personnel, and the environment. Marine engine designers have successfully developed two-stroke and four-stroke ammonia-burning engines, using various amounts of pilot fuel and selective catalytic reduction systems to handle the high levels of NOx and N2O emissions produced during combustion. It is anticipated that the first ammonia-powered vessels will begin operation this year. As the world’s largest bunkering hub, the Port of Singapore envisions a multi-fuel future, allowing vessels to refuel with traditional marine fuels as well as LNG, methanol, and ammonia.

Under the agreement, AM Green plans to develop a 1 million mt/year green ammonia production facility at the port as well as storage and bunkering infrastructure. The company has not yet disclosed a project timeline. The partnership also covers ammonia bunkering pilots, safety guidelines and training programmes to support future fuel-handling operations. Separately, the port authority has signed an agreement with Bureau Veritas to support safety validation and the development of green fuel bunkering practices. VOC Port is also planning methanol bunkering infrastructure with an initial storage capacity of 750 cbm. Growing green ammonia pipeline AM Green has announced plans to produce up to 5 million mt/year of green ammonia by 2030, with most of the output targeted at the bunkering market. The company is already developing a 1 million mt/year green ammonia facility at Kakinada Port, which is expected to start production by 2027. UK-based renewable energy developer Yamna plans to build a 1 million mt/year green ammonia plant near the Port of Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, with output potentially serving the marine fuel market. Japanese conglomerate Itochu has secured exclusive long-term supply of 300,000 mt/year of green ammonia from a proposed production facility being developed by L&T Energy GreenTech at Gujarat's Port of Kandla. Itochu plans to use the fuel for bunkering, with Singapore identified as its first target market. By Konica Bhatt Please get in touch with comments or additional info to news@engine.online

The Port of Long Beach has approved a $1 million incentive aimed at jump-starting commercial-scale methanol bunkering at the facility, marking what officials describe as a first-of-its-kind effort to accelerate the maritime industry's shift away from conventional fossil fuels. California's Port of Long Beach has created a $1 million award for the first oceangoing vessel to commercially bunker methanol at the harbor, in what port officials are calling an unprecedented effort to accelerate the maritime industry's shift to lower-carbon fuels. The Long Beach Harbor Commission approved the Clean Fuel Bunkering Challenge on May 26. "We know the shipping industry is considering moving toward adopting methanol marine fuel for some great reasons — they want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. Today, we're giving them 1 million more reasons to embrace clean fuels," said Port of Long Beach CEO Noel Hacegaba. "This is about demonstrating that we're serious about creating a North American market for methanol bunkering, and giving the industry an incentive to invest. We're also seeing how rising fuel costs are strengthening the case for energy diversification and greater energy independence." "The Port of Long Beach has been advancing the commercial availability of clean technology and sustainability solutions for decades," said Long Beach Harbor Commission President Frank Colonna. "This is the most direct and practical lever we can pull to demonstrate the feasibility of bunkering methanol fuel in San Pedro Bay." Compared with conventional marine fuel, methanol significantly cuts harmful emissions — reducing nitrogen oxide output by up to 50%, sulfur oxides by 95%, and particulate matter by 90%. Major shipping companies have been heavily investing in dual-fuel methanol vessels, some of which already call at Long Beach, one of the busiest container ports in the United States. The obstacle, however, is a supply gap: methanol is not currently available at the port, forcing methanol-capable ships to depart on conventional bunker fuel. The economics of the challenge reflect that gap directly. Bunkering a vessel with methanol at current pricing runs approximately $1.5 million per call, compared to roughly $1 million for conventional fuel. The $1 million award is structured to offset that price differential while directing the remaining $500,000 toward additional costs, including development of operational and safety procedures, coordination with fuel providers and distributors, and local permitting work. The challenge was partly inspired by the commercial availability of methanol at the ports of Shanghai and Singapore, both of which participate in Green Shipping Corridors with the San Pedro Bay ports. Green Shipping Corridors are bilateral or multilateral agreements between ports to collaborate on deploying zero- or near-zero-emission fuels and technologies along specific trade routes. Within the next year, the port also plans to update its Green Ship Incentive Program to encourage more routine cleaner ship visits, a move officials say could further develop the methanol market. Proposed revisions include updated scoring and incentive metrics developed in collaboration with other international ports. Environmental advocacy group Pacific Environment, while welcoming the award, urged the port and shipping companies to prioritize green methanol — produced from renewable sources — over fossil-derived alternatives. "Not all methanol pathways are equal, and long-term investments should focus on truly green methanol solutions that deliver the strongest climate and public health benefits," said Davina Hurt, climate policy director for Pacific Environment.

Author :Carlo Raucci A just maritime transition requires sustainable fuel systems that are safe, bankable, and accessible to a wider range of countries and ports This piece is part of the series 'Governing the Oceans: Rethinking Access and Equity' The question of who governs the oceans is increasingly a question of who can access the infrastructure, finance, and fuels that will define the next maritime economy. For decades,ocean governancehas centred on rules of passage, resource rights, safety, and environmental protection. That agenda remains essential. But the transition to low- and zero-emission shipping is adding a new layer: whether all regions, including the Global South, can participate in the emerging sustainable maritime fuel economy, rather than merely adapting to rules and supply chains designed elsewhere. Shipping is central to globalisation, yet its fuel system remains overwhelmingly fossil-based. TheInternational Maritime Organization’s 2023 GHG Strategyset a clear direction: international shipping should reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions “by or around” 2050, with zero or near-zero GHG emission technologies, fuels, and energy sources representing at least 5 percent, striving for 10 percent, of shipping energy use by 2030. TheInternational Energy Agencysimilarly highlights that low-emission fuels must scale rapidly in shipping, with biofuels and hydrogen-based fuels playing potential roles depending on policy support, infrastructure readiness, and vessel technology. The challenge is no longer only technological. It is increasingly about delivery. Sustainable maritime fuels will matter only if they are available at the right ports, in the right quantities, at a manageable cost, with credible safety, certification, and lifecycle-emissions assurance. The challenge is no longer only technological. It is increasingly about delivery. Sustainable maritime fuels will matter only if they are available at the right ports, in the right quantities, at a manageable cost, with credible safety, certification, and lifecycle-emissions assurance. This is the core premise of many studies. For example, theMaersk Mc-Kinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shippinghas argued that ports will need to take practical first steps on fuel readiness, infrastructure sequencing, and stakeholder coordination; and the Lloyd’s Register MaritimeDecarbonisation Hub’sFuel Adoption Programme and its forthcoming report,Building the sustainable maritime fuel supply chainpoints out that the transition will depend on whether production, export logistics, bunkering infrastructure, and demand can be developed as a coherent system. Three findings are especially relevant for ocean governance. First, today’s bunkering system is highly concentrated. TheDecarb Hub’s analysisestimates that the top 19 bunkering ports account for around half of global bunkering volumes. This concentration creates a powerful opportunity: early infrastructure in a small number of high-volume hubs can influence a large share of global shipping activity. But it also creates a governance risk: if sustainable fuel access is built only around incumbent hubs, the transition could reinforce existing asymmetries in maritime influence. Second, many future sustainable fuel production locations may not be today’s dominant bunkering hubs. Fuel distribution ports can be identified based on proximity to production projects, scale, and export relevance.Most potential e-fuel distribution portssit outside the current top-tier bunkering hierarchy. In practical terms, early market formation may depend on new trade-pair relationships: export gateways in regions with renewable resources and industrial land supplying major bunkering hubs where vessel demand is concentrated. For example, ports linked to green fuel production in India could, over time, support supply towards Singapore, while projects in North and West Africa could connect renewable-rich coastal areas to European demand centres. These examples are not forecasts, but they illustrate how future fuel corridors may differ from today's bunkering map. This matters for equity. Countries in Africa, Latin America, South Asia and parts of the Middle East may not all be major bunkering centres today, but some have strong potential to become sustainable fuel producers, exporters, and operate dual-role ports. Possible regional patterns may emerge and could create new maritime value chains, especially if investment, offtake agreements, and standards are designed inclusively. Most potential e-fuel distribution ports sit outside the current top-tier bunkering hierarchy. In practical terms, early market formation may depend on new trade-pair relationships: export gateways in regions with renewable resources and industrial land supplying major bunkering hubs where vessel demand is concentrated. Third, manysustainable fuel projectsremain pre-final investment decision. Their bankability depends on coordinated development across production, storage, port infrastructure, vessel demand, and policy incentives. Long-term offtake agreements, blended finance, guarantees, and public–private risk-sharing can help move projects from announcement to execution. Without these mechanisms, the transition could stall in precisely the regions where sustainable fuel development could deliver the greatest development benefits. The issue is not simply whether capital exists, but whether it is structured to manage first-mover risk, support early demand aggregation, and build confidence across the fuel value chain. A more equitable approach would treatsustainable maritime fuelinfrastructure as part of ocean governance, not merely as an energy-sector investment. Ports in emerging economies should be assessed not only for immediate fuel volumes, but also for renewable potential, land suitability, shipping traffic, industrial integration, local air-quality benefits, development impact and social risk. The Port Explorer Tool offers one such approach. By screening ports across technical, economic, environmental, and delivery-risk criteria, it can identify “next-wave” locations that may be otherwise missed. This has clear implications for the Global South. If sustainable maritime fuel corridors are designed as inclusive investment platforms, they can support industrial development, port modernisation, cleaner air, skills development, and more resilient trade connectivity. The benefits can be tangible: new fuel infrastructure can create demand for port services, engineering capability, safety training, and renewable-energy integration, while cleaner fuels can reduce local air pollutants around port cities. These outcomes will be shaped by governance choices made now: how standards are developed, how finance is mobilised, how local benefits are valued, and how opportunities for ports are included in early market formation. The next phase of ocean governance should recognise fuel access as a strategic public-interest issue: essential for meeting climate goals, maintaining trade resilience, and enabling a more balanced maritime economy. Switching to sustainable maritime fuels is therefore not simply a compliance exercise. It is a test of whether climate action at sea can be aligned with fair access to opportunity on shore. The next phase of ocean governance should recognise fuel access as a strategic public-interest issue: essential for meeting climate goals, maintaining trade resilience, and enabling a more balanced maritime economy. The oceans are governed not only through treaties and institutions, but through the infrastructures that determine who can move, trade, invest, and adapt. Sustainable maritime fuels will be one of those infrastructures. The task now is to build them in ways that are safe, bankable, and open to wider participation.

Major global shipping companies are heavily investing in dual-fuel methanol vessels, some of which are already visiting Long Beach. However, methanol fuel is not currently available at the Port, necessitating methanol-capable ships to depart using conventional bunker fuel. With current pricing, refueling a vessel with methanol would cost about $1.5 million per call compared to approximately $1 million for conventional fuel. The Port award is intended to offset the difference, and provide another $500,000 toward additional costs including development of operational and safety procedures and working with fuel providers and distributors, as well as local permitting agencies. The Clean Fuel Bunkering Challenge is part of a concerted strategy by the Port of Long Beach to encourage cleaner ships and clean marine fuels, with development informed by discussions with shipping partners about their challenges and interests. It was also inspired by the commercial availability of the fuel at the ports of Shanghai and Singapore, two participants in Green Shipping Corridors with the San Pedro Bay ports. Within the next year, the Port intends to update the Green Ship Incentive Program to encourage more routine cleaner ship visits, which could further boost the methanol market. Pending revisions include updated scoring and incentive metrics, in collaboration with other international ports.

The Maritime Executive reported thatSingapore's Maritime and Port Authorityhas issued its first authorization for an ammonia bunker operation, enabling ship-to-ship fuel transfers. This program, developed by subsidiaries of Japan'sItochu Corporation, will supply fuel to newly constructed ammonia bulkers operated by a joint venture between Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and CMB.TECH. The authorization followed a review by the MPA of comprehensive safety studies, risk assessments, and business plans for ammonia bunkering in Singapore, prepared by Itochu's Singapore-based subsidiary ZETA Bunkering. The approval took effect on May 15, 2026, for a trial period lasting up to two years, subject to the MPA's current regulatory framework. The companies placed an order for the first newbuild ammonia bunker vessel in June 2025, which is being built by Japan's Sasaki Shipbuilding. The vessel, with a capacity of approximately 5,000 cubic meters of ammonia marine fuel, is scheduled for delivery in September 2027. Once the vessel enters service, demonstration trials will be conducted in coordination with the MOL-CMB.TECH joint venture. In March 2025, the companies announced joint ownership of three ammonia-fitted 210,000 deadweight ton Newcastle bulk carriers. These vessels are under construction at Qingdao Beihai Shipyard in China and will operate under a 10-year charter to MOL. Additionally, an order was placed at China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Yangzhou) for six chemical tankers, with two ammonia-fitted on delivery and four built ammonia-ready. CMB.TECH will own the vessels, which will operate under charter to MOL Chemical Tankers. Singapore is at the forefront of developing ammonia as an alternative marine fuel. The first-ever ship bunkering and trials occurred under MPA authorization for the Fortescue vessel, an offshore support vessel converted for ammonia operations. Those tests took place in early 2024, and the vessel was authorized for registration in Singapore. Itochu stated that through these demonstrations and subsequent ammonia bunkering trial operations, it will collaborate closely with the MPA and other maritime stakeholders to develop infrastructure, technologies, and operational standards for ammonia bunkering, prioritizing safety and environmental sustainability. Itochu also plans to formulate detailed implementation plans, conduct risk assessments, and establish emergency response measures to ensure safety and environmental protection remain paramount. These trials will allow Itochu to establish safe and sustainable ship-to-ship bunkering operations using ammonia as marine fuel. The company aims to commercialize the ammonia bunkering business in Singapore and at major maritime hubs worldwide.

Itochu’s ZETA Bunkering secured Singapore approval for ammonia bunkering trials, advancing shipping decarbonization and future global clean-fuel infrastructure development. Itochu's subsidiary, ZETA Bunkering Pte. Ltd., has received crucial authorization from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) to commenceammoniabunkering trials in Singapore. This landmark approval, granted on April 27, 2026, and effective from May 15, 2026, for a trial period of up to two years, marks a significant stride towards decarbonizing the global shipping industry. The trials are poised to verify the technical readiness, operational protocols, infrastructure, and technologies essential for safe and environmentally sustainable ammonia bunkering practices in the world's busiest port.The impetus behind this initiative is the urgent need to meet the shipping industry's decarbonization targets, particularly the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Ammonia is emerging as a promising alternative marine fuel due to its potential for zero-carbon emissions at the point of combustion. Itochu's strategic move reflects a "market-in" approach, anticipating future demand for clean fuels and proactively building the necessary supply chain and infrastructure.For the trials, Itochu plans to collaborate with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) and CMB.TECH NV. This partnership involves supplying ammonia fuel from a newly constructed 5,000 cubic meter ammonia bunker vessel, ordered by Itochu from Sasaki Shipbuilding, to MOL's dual-fuel Capesize bulkers. These demonstration trials are scheduled to take place within Singapore's port during the last quarter of 2027, with commercial ammonia bunkering operations anticipated to commence by 2028.The economic implications of this development are substantial. Itochu's project involves significant investments in new shipbuilding and bunkering infrastructure, partially financed by agreements with institutions like Hiroshima Bank and supported by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) under its "Global South Future-oriented Co-Creation Project." If successful, this initiative will not only establish new markets for ammonia as a marine fuel but also foster job creation in related sectors.Geopolitically and industry-specifically, Singapore is solidifying its position as a leading global bunkering hub by embracing and pioneering the adoption of new, greener fuels. This move by Itochu, a major Japanese trading house, also aims to enhance the competitiveness of Japan's shipbuilding industry, particularly in the construction of ammonia-bunkering vessels and tanks. Beyond Singapore, Itochu has ambitions to expand its ammonia bunkering business to other critical maritime transportation points globally, including Spain (Strait of Gibraltar), the Suez Canal in Egypt, and Japan, thereby creating a worldwide network for clean ammonia supply.The environmental impact is a primary driver, with the project directly contributing to the decarbonization of international shipping and helping the maritime industry achieve its net-zero greenhouse gas emission goals by 2050. However, the successful implementation hinges on developing robust safety studies, risk assessments, and operational standards to manage the inherent challenges associated with handling ammonia as a fuel. Itochu's subsidiary, ZETA Bunkering Pte. Ltd., has received crucial authorization from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) to commenceammoniabunkering trials in Singapore. This landmark approval, granted on April 27, 2026, and effective from May 15, 2026, for a trial period of up to two years, marks a significant stride towards decarbonizing the global shipping industry. The trials are poised to verify the technical readiness, operational protocols, infrastructure, and technologies essential for safe and environmentally sustainable ammonia bunkering practices in the world's busiest port. The impetus behind this initiative is the urgent need to meet the shipping industry's decarbonization targets, particularly the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Ammonia is emerging as a promising alternative marine fuel due to its potential for zero-carbon emissions at the point of combustion. Itochu's strategic move reflects a "market-in" approach, anticipating future demand for clean fuels and proactively building the necessary supply chain and infrastructure. For the trials, Itochu plans to collaborate with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) and CMB.TECH NV. This partnership involves supplying ammonia fuel from a newly constructed 5,000 cubic meter ammonia bunker vessel, ordered by Itochu from Sasaki Shipbuilding, to MOL's dual-fuel Capesize bulkers. These demonstration trials are scheduled to take place within Singapore's port during the last quarter of 2027, with commercial ammonia bunkering operations anticipated to commence by 2028. The economic implications of this development are substantial. Itochu's project involves significant investments in new shipbuilding and bunkering infrastructure, partially financed by agreements with institutions like Hiroshima Bank and supported by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) under its "Global South Future-oriented Co-Creation Project."
