The Finnish tech group Wärtsilä is collaborating with Norwegian shipowner Eidesvik Offshore to convert the “Viking Energy” offshore vessel to run on ammonia fuel by 2026. This transformation makes it the world’s first ammonia-powered vessel in operation, reducing emissions by at least 70%. Equinor supports this initiative to meet global emissions targets.
Equinor ASA (EQNR) has extended its partnership with Gasum for LNG bunkering, ensuring supply to Equinor’s fleet. Gasum’s specialized vessels showcase operational readiness, supporting Equinor’s sustainability goals. Both companies prioritize reducing emissions, with Equinor aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. The renewed agreement highlights the importance of strategic partnerships in advancing sustainability in the maritime industry through the use of LNG and bio-LNG.
