As the maritime industry pushes toward decarbonisation, ammonia is emerging as a promising alternative fuel. With its potential to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions—particularly when produced from renewable sources—ammonia offers a path toward greener shipping.

However, its adoption comes with new safety considerations, especially for crews who have never encountered ammonia onboard. The Lloyd’s Register (LR) Decarbonisation Hub, through a multi-stakeholder effort, is stepping in with structured guidance to bridge the knowledge gap.
