ABS, a leading global provider of classification and technical advisory services to the marine and offshore industries, is committed to setting standards for safety and excellence in design, construction and operation. ABS is one of the largest classification societies, established in 1862, with over 370 million tonnes deadweight classed, covering 120 flag authorities and an estimated 24% of the marine orderbook share in 2021. Focused on safe and practical application of advanced technologies and digital solutions, ABS works with industry and clients to develop accurate and cost-effective compliance, optimized performance, and operational efficiency for marine and offshore assets.
ABS is committed to supporting the maritime industry reducing shipping’s Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, in alignment with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) GHG reduction targets. Ammonia is a fuel that shows high potential in contributing to such reduction, due to its zero-carbon fuel properties, as well as its ability to be produced from renewable and sustainable sources. The technological developments of NH3CRAFT will represent a significant milestone towards the use of ammonia as fuel and thus ABS participation in NH3CRAFT will constitute an important part in ABS leading efforts and commitment to the decarbonization of the maritime industry.
