Marine equipment and solutions for ammonia as fuel
Advancing towards an ammonia-fuelled future
As the shipping sector navigates the path to decarbonization, driven by stringent regulations and ambitious targets, renewable ammonia is emerging as a compelling alternative fuel for achieving net zero emissions. With a century of experience in marine fuels and a proven track record in handling similar fuels like LNG and LPG, Alfa Laval is at the forefront of developing solutions for ammonia-powered vessels and is ready to partner with you in making the transition. Through continuous research, development and collaboration, we ensure a safe and efficient transition to this promising energy source.

FCM Ammonia
The new Alfa Laval FCM Ammonia is designed for the safe & efficient utilization of ammonia as marine fuel. Alfa Laval’s proven expertise in handling diverse fuels like methanol and LPG has been instrumental in developing this system. The first FCM ammonia test bench is expected to be delivered in the second half of 2024.
Aalborg marine boiler solutions
The Alfa Laval Aalborg ammonia dual-fuel boiler system can be a cost effective, multi-purpose system for ammonia capable ships Together with meeting the ship's heat demand through steam generation, it can help to safely handle boil-off ammonia, and effectively remove ammonia vapor in the purge/vent stream, without adding complex, bulky extra equipment.
Heating and cooling
Alfa Laval offers the widest and most comprehensive heat transfer portfolio in the market. These heat exchangers, tailored to customer applications, deliver energy-efficient and reliable performance. They are fatigue resistant, and fully serviceable, and designed to meet the unique demands of working with ammonia.
Tank Management
Alfa Laval, through its brand Scanjet, delivers advanced tank cleaning technology for marine vessels. Scanjet offers a comprehensive portfolio of tank management systems and solutions, ranging from the design and production process to maintenance and global after-sales service for customers.
Alfa Laval, WinGD, ABS and K Shipbuilding join forces for ammonia-fuelled tanker design
Alfa Laval collaborates with WinGD, ABS and K Shipbuilding in the development of an ammonia-fuelled MR tanker design under a memorandum of understanding. Alfa Laval will deliver the detailed documentation for the final fuel gas system design for ammonia.
