Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping has taken delivery of green ammonia aboard its first very large ammonia carrier, which bunkered in South Korea's port of Ulsan, sources indicated on 6 November 2026.
The vessel, named Terra Clove, received the fuel following a physical delivery arranged by South Korean supplier Lotte Fine Chemical, the report states.
The ammonia was produced at a green ammonia facility operated by Envision Energy in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, and subsequently moved to Ulsan for bunkering operations.
The bunkering marks a milestone for Eastern Pacific Shipping, whose first VLAC has been fitted to operate on ammonia in addition to conventional fuels.
Supply chain and logistics
According to the verified account, the chain involved production at Envision Energy's plant, a cross-border movement of the cargo and a handover in Ulsan through Lotte Fine Chemical. The report does not detail the delivery route or intermediate storage arrangements.
The physical delivery by a South Korean supplier highlights a role for local intermediaries in bringing green ammonia from producer to ship, though the frequency and scale of such deliveries remain unspecified in the note.
Context and implications
Green ammonia, produced using renewable electricity rather than fossil-derived hydrogen, is cited by industry participants as a possible fuel option for deep-sea shipping; this bunkering instance demonstrates the practical movement of the product from a production site in Inner Mongolia to a major Korean bunkering port.
The report does not provide specifics on the quantity bunkered, commercial terms, or the proportion of the vessel's fuel inventory filled with green ammonia, and it does not attribute remarks from company executives.
Eastern Pacific Shipping's deployment of a VLAC capable of dual-fuel operation and the physical transfer of green ammonia from an inland Chinese plant to a South Korean port together represent steps in the nascent supply chain for ammonia as a maritime fuel. The operations reported show collaboration across producer, supplier and shipowner without offering technical or contractual detail.
The source for these facts is reports, which published the item on 6 November 2026. The report supplies the vessel name, the producer of the ammonia and the local supplier involved in the bunkering at Ulsan.
This episode will be watched by shipowners, fuel suppliers and ports as industry participants track how green hydrogen-based products are moved and delivered, and how ship operators adapt fuel logistics to new energy vectors. The account provides a factual snapshot of one delivery rather than a broader market assessment.
