On 13 October 2026, Shenghang Yongle supplied 1,000 tonnes of green ammonia to Mineral Europa, an ammonia-powered vessel owned by Belgian maritime group CMB.TECH, at the Zhoushan anchorage in Zhejiang Province, China.

FKAB developed the original L21 vessel design as a flexible semi-refrigerated and semi-pressurised liquefied gas carrier. When the vessel was selected for conversion into an ammonia bunker vessel, FKAB continued its involvement by preparing the technical drawing documentation together with cargo-handling specialist Gloryholder.
“The completed bunkering operation is an important proof point for ammonia as a marine fuel. It shows how a flexible vessel platform, supported
