Anglo-Eastern launches training skid for LNG and ammonia bunkering

0

Hong Kong-based ship management company Anglo-Eastern has introduced a liquefied natural gas (LNG)/ammonia bunkering station skid at its Maritime Academy in Mumbai, India. The facility will improve hands-on training for the safe handling of alternative marine fuels.

Designed to replicate real-world bunkering operations, the skid provides practical training in fuel transfer, emergency response and regulatory compliance.

“As the industry transitions toward sustainable fuels, the need for well-trained professionals has never been greater,” said Captain Aalok Sharma, Group Director of Training at Anglo-Eastern. “This new facility will equip maritime personnel with the knowledge and hands-on experience.”

Unlike conventional marine fuels, LNG and ammonia need specialised handling due to their cryogenic storage conditions and unique safety risks. LNG must be maintained at approximately -162°C to remain in liquid form, posing risks such as rapid phase transition and flammability in case of leaks. Ammonia, while carbon-free, is highly toxic and requires strict containment measures to prevent exposure.
