EPS to register ammonia-fueled newbuilds in Singapore

The vessels are set for delivery from 2026 onwards.

Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) has signed MOUs with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), ABS, and Lloyd’s Register to register its six new ammonia dual-fuel ships under the Singapore Registry of Ships (SRS).

The four Newcastlemaxes and two Very Large Ammonia Carriers (VLACs) fitted with ammonia dual-fuel engines are slated for delivery from 2026 onwards.

The partnership builds on EPS' work with MAN Energy Solutions, HD Hyundai, and China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) yards to develop an ammonia-burning engine for new EPS-managed vessels.

The MOUs will support MPA’s drive to decarbonise and digitalise the shipping detector through green initiatives.

Under the MOU, the partners will collaborate on developing ammonia bunkering capacities, training seafarers in safety and management, sharing expertise on ammonia solutions and standards for power and bunkering, and exploring pilot trials with zero and near-zero emission fuels.

In addition, EPS will collaborate with MPA at the new Maritime Energy Training Facility, set to open by 2026, to advance crew training on zero and near-zero emission fuels and technologies.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
