HD Hyundai Heavy Industries has successfully built the world's largest ammonia-powered vessel.

On the 22nd, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries held a naming ceremony for an ultra-large 93,000-cubic-meter-class ammonia-powered vessel at its Ulsan shipyard.

This vessel is the first of two series ships ordered from Singapore's EPS in 2023 and has been named 'Terra Clove.' The name combines 'Terra,' meaning Earth in Latin, and 'Clove,' meaning flower bud.

Equipped with an ammonia dual-fuel propulsion system, the vessel is designed to selectively use conventional marine fuel and the eco-friendly fuel ammonia. It is scheduled for delivery in early November after final finishing work.

In particular, it has secured top-level safety by applying exclusive disaster prevention technologies and systems, including a detection device that can monitor ammonia leaks in real time and an ammonia emission reduction system.

An HD Hyundai official, speaking by phone with this outlet, stated, "We are proud to have been building next-generation eco-friendly vessels together with EPS for over the past 30 years."
