Like an increasing number of modern container ships, the ammonia-fuelled Yara Eyde will feature an accommodation block set fully forward.
YARA
China’s Qingdao Yangfan Shipbuilding has been contracted to build the world’s first ammoniapowered container ship, the 1,400TEU Yara Eyde, which is expected to be delivered to Antwerp-based Delphis, part of Belgium’s CMB group, by mid-2026.
The vessel will be operated between Norway and Germany by NCL Oslofjord AS, a joint venture between North Sea Container Line and Yara Clean Ammonia (YCA), under a 15-year service agreement with YCA to provide the ammonia and Yara International to provide the cargo, which will consist of containerised fertiliser moving between Yara’s fertiliser plant in Porsgrunn, Norway and Bremerhaven.
