Our latest whitepaper explores the role of ship-to-ship (STS) transfers in the growth of ammonia as a sustainable fuel, the challenges posed with the highly toxic cargo, and how STS can be safely mitigated.
As industries across the globe strive to meet net-zero targets, the use of sustainable fuel sources in the energy mix is becoming increasingly prominent. As a result, we are witnessing a global shift from fossil-fuel based energy systems to a use of low-carbon and renewable energy sources.
Ammonia has emerged as a key component in the race to meet these targets and drive a transition to clean energy. Currently around 176 million tonnes of ammonia are produced a year, with this expected to rise to 238 million metric tonnes by 2050.
As demand for ammonia grows, ship-to-ship (STS) transfers offer a promising solution to ongoing questions surrounding the physical trade and movement of ammonia. As the supply chain for ammonia develops, STS transfers can help bridge the gap between growing demand and the infrastructure needed to supply it.
James Fisher Fendercare (JF Fendercare) responded to growing customer demand by utilising its experience and expertise to develop solutions in the ammonia STS market. Having been approved by many of the world’s largest energy companies, JF Fendercare is on hand to support customers with optimising their shipping and trading portfolios.

JF Fendercare supported a successful ammonia ship-to-ship transfer as part of industry leading pilot.
In 2022 a GCMD-led consortium undertook a study to assess the safe bunkering of ammonia as a marine fuel and JF Fendercare was engaged to support pilot ammonia ship to ship transfer (STS) operations in Pilbara, Western Australia.
