Ammonia Equipment for Bunkering

Specialized systems and interfaces for safe shore-to-ship ammonia transfer and bunkering including marine couplings, breakaway systems, overpressure protection and emergency isolation.

We engineer bunkering systems to meet the unique dynamics of ship motions, port side restrictions and the need for rapid, safe turnarounds. Hose or hard-arm interfaces are specified with flexible joints, swivel couplings, and quick disconnects with integrated breakaway valves to prevent spills on loss-of-tension. All marine exposed components receive corrosion protection and cathodic measures as appropriate. Bunkering control philosophies integrate with ship-to-shore communication protocols, ensuring transfer permissive are validated at both ends before liquid transfer commences.

Operational considerations include berthing time windows, mooring plan coordination, emergency shutdown lines and firefighting provision. We collaborate with port authorities, class societies and ship operators to provide documented ship / shore interface procedures and competence matrices for crew training. Environmental mitigation such as spill containment and vapor suppression is integrated into the design for coastal permitting.
