South Gyeongsang Province is conducting sea trials for a 500-ton-class diesel-ammonia dual-fuel vessel to evaluate its performance, safety, and fuel efficiency while aiming to reduce emissions through the use of ammonia as a zero-carbon energy source. This initiative, supported by government investment and collaboration with industry and research institutions, seeks to establish standards for ammonia-powered vessels and position the province as a leader in sustainable shipping. The outcomes are expected to contribute to global maritime decarbonization efforts.
