Ammonia-Fuelled Bulk Carrier: A Chinese BOG Compressor Goes Aboard the First 210,000-tonne Ship
Shenyang Yuanda's boil-off gas compressor is supplying the world's first 210,000-tonne ammonia/LNG dual-fuel bulk carrier — marine BOG duty aboard a new fuel class.
Lead
A boil-off gas (BOG) compressor from Shenyang Yuanda Compressor is supplying the world's first 210,000-tonne ammonia/LNG dual-fuel bulk carrier, the China General Machinery Industry Association reported on 13 October 2026.
Facts
The equipment. The compressor handles boil-off gas duty aboard the vessel — the gas that evaporates from cryogenic fuel tanks and must be captured, compressed and managed. (Source: the China General Machinery Industry Association, 2026-10-13.)
The vessel. The ship is described as the world's first 210,000-tonne bulk carrier on ammonia/LNG dual fuel — a new fuel class for large bulk shipping, where ammonia's zero-carbon combustion is weighed against its toxicity and handling demands. (Source: the same.)
The maker. Shenyang Yuanda Compressor is a Shenyang-based maker of reciprocating process compressors. (Source: company public information.)
