Envision supplied its green ammonia to bunker the Terra Clove, the world's first Very Large Ammonia Carrier with dual-fuel ammonia propulsion, the company said in a PR Newswire announcement on November 3, 2026. The vessel is owned by Eastern Pacific Shipping and was built by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries.
How the Terra Clove Bunkering Worked
The Terra Clove was recently named at a ceremony in South Korea. The vessel runs on an ammonia dual-fuel Everllence engine and can still use conventional marine fuel, while operating on green ammonia to achieve lifecycle greenhouse gas emission reductions, according to the announcement.
The fuel originates from Envision's Chifeng Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Industrial Park in Inner Mongolia, which produces 320,000 tons of green ammonia annually, with total planned capacity of 1.52 million tons. The Chifeng facility is certified by Bureau Veritas to ISO standards, and the green ammonia complies with RFNBO and ISCC requirements.
"Building on our first shipment to LOTTE Fine Chemical in February, this bunkering marks a historic milestone: we have officially connected the entire green ammonia value chain—from production to marine application to a larger scale," said Frank Yu, Senior Vice President of Envision Energy. "The deployment to this first-in-kind VLAC powered by the ammonia dual-fuel Everllence engine is a breakthrough, confirming that green ammonia is a viable, scalable marine fuel today."
