Title: Steel Ships PMC Strengthens Hong Kong Hub for Zero-Carbon Ammonia Carrier Expertise

Hong Kong S.A.R., 25th Sep 2026 — Steel Ships Ltd (steel-ships.com), a world-class shipbuilding project management provider and Group centre for maritime expertise, today reaffirmed from Hong Kong its specialised authority in large ammonia carriers (VLACs). These vessels can burn zero-carbon ammonia fuel and transport ammonia across global oceans, supporting the IMO’s 2050 net-zero target.Ammonia is a leading carbon-free marine fuel. Engine makers show at least 90% GHG reduction versus diesel on sustainable ammonia. WinGD’s ammonia dual-fuel engine has 40 orders, and the first ocean-going ammonia-fuelled vessel is in service. Commercialisation demands specialist project management.Steel Ships PMC draws on over two decades in maritime. Expertise spans container ships, bulkers, tankers, LNG/LPG carriers, and high-spec VLACs. Its permanent team knows Korean, Japanese, and Chinese shipyards, where most VLAC orders are placed.Ammonia’s toxicity and corrosivity require rigorous containment. Cargo tanks used as fuel tanks follow the IGC Code; the IMO clarified “one ship, one code” for gas carriers using low-flashpoint fuels and approved interim ammonia safety and seafarer training guidelines. Recent VLACs reach 93,000 cbm, 230m length, 36.6m beam, 22.5m depth, with low-drag hulls, LPG dual-fuel engines, and shaft generators. AiP designs use larger tanks than VLGCs for low-emission transport and higher capacity.“The industry has passed realistic milestone,” said Dr Ranjan Varghese, Chief Executive Officer. “What matters now is execution—delivering safe, efficient, compliant vessels. Steel Ships PMC bridges ambitious design and operational reality. Our gas-carrier expertise and Far East shipyard knowledge make us partner of choice for owners building large ammonia carriers with...
