The midsize gas carrier, Antwerpen , demonstrated the use of ammonia in commercial service on a voyage from China to India , the firm said in a LinkedIn post on Monday. Exmar added that the vessel's ammonia dual-fuel operation performed in line with expectations and its original design, demonstrating that the technology is capable of supporting commercial operations. The company had taken delivery of the 46,000 m3 capacity vessel last month . Before the launch of the vessel, the ship had bunkered green ammonia at the Port of Ulsan . The vessel is the first of the series of four ammonia-fuelled ships.
