Antigua hosted the world's first ammonia-fueled ship, a 75-meter vessel, demonstrating green ammonia as a dual fuel alternative. The visit coincides with the International Maritime Organization's efforts to establish stricter greenhouse gas standards for shipping by 2050.

The vessel, arriving from Trinidad, was invited by Port Manager Darwin Telemach, who has been in discussions with its operators for over a year. Antigua was chosen for its port electrification efforts and commitment to green fuel infrastructure. The ship will continue its global tour while local authorities assess emerging fuel technologies for future port development.
