CMB.TECH NVBocimar, the dry bulk division of CMB.TECH, charters up to 12 ammonia-capable vessels to Fortescue, generating revenue and showcasing its dual-fuel technology.

Fortescue and CMB.TECH have signed a milestone agreement for the charter of up to 12 ammonia-capable Newcastlemax vessels from Bocimar, the dry bulk division of CMB.TECH. Up to three of the 210,000-dwt vessels will be delivered with dual-fuel ammonia engines and are expected to enter service by the end of 2026, while the remaining nine will be ammonia-ready and can be converted later. If fuelled by green ammonia, the combined fleet could cut carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 250,000 tonnes a year compared with conventional marine fuels. Fortescue Director Integrated Operations Katie Charuga said the deal represents a practical step towards scaling green ammonia in shipping, building on the company's Green Pioneer demonstration vessel. CMB.TECH CEO Alexander Saverys called the agreement a powerful signal that the sector can decarbonise at scale with determined partners.
