This marks a critical step in preparing major ports for the use of ammonia as a marine fuel and sends a strong signal for the future of ammonia-powered maritime transport and the VLAC segment. With the anticipated arrival of the first ammonia-powered vessels on the market in 2026, this pilot project proves that large-scale and safe bunkering is achievable under operational conditions. The port has now reached readiness level 7, indicating that regulated ammonia bunkering can be conducted on a project basis. Infrastructure for ammonia is catching up with demand As the world's second-largest bunkering hub, Rotterdam's advancements show that infrastructure is beginning to meet demand. For the VLAC segment and ammonia stakeholders, this signifies a new step towards commercial viability and genuine market momentum.
