The Joint Development Agreement (JDA) aims to enable large-scale ammonia bunkering operations by 2030, supporting the shift to alternative fuels and accelerating port decarbonisation in Western Australia\u2019s Pilbara region.<\/p>\n
\u201cPilbara Ports is proud to partner with NH3 and Oceania to advance decarbonisation efforts in the maritime industry. The Pilbara is a natural beachhead to kick start the clean fuel transition,\u201d said Sam McSkimming, CEO, Pilbara Ports\u2019 CEO.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe green iron corridor between the Pilbara and East Asia has the scale, stable demand, port infrastructure, and risk management experience, to support the significant investment that maritime decarbonisation requires.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ammonia supply chain<\/strong><\/p>\n The collaboration supports the supply of clean ammonia fuel for iron ore carriers operating between the Pilbara and Asia, aligning with the International Maritime Organisation\u2019s 2027 Net Zero Framework.<\/p>\n The plan includes a comprehensive scope of work to establish operational feasibility, secure regulatory approvals and finalise investment decisions by 2026.<\/p>\n Port infrastructure will be critical, with Pilbara Ports managing safety and licensing, NH3 supplying ammonia from its WAH2 Project and Oceania operating bunker vessels to transfer fuel ship-to-ship.<\/p>\n The development leverages the region\u2019s strategic position, handling over 750 million tonnes of bulk exports annually and aligns with growing global demand for cleaner marine fuels.<\/p>\n With 29 ammonia-capable vessels expected before 2030, the partners aim to position Dampier as a key player in the global ammonia bunkering market.<\/p>\n The initiative also highlights Western Australia\u2019s potential to lead in green shipping and low-carbon fuel innovation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NH3 Clean Energy, Pilbara Ports, and Oceania Marine Energy have signed a joint agreement to develop low-emissions ammonia bunkering at the Port of Dampier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":5375,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,70],"tags":[40,43,1727,2132,2131,539,1782],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-australasia-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-ammonia","tag-ammonia-bunkering","tag-nh3-clean-energy","tag-pilbara-ports-authority","tag-port-infrastructure","tag-port-of-dampier"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5374"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5374\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5376,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5374\/revisions\/5376"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5374"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
