Exmar and Trammo have completed their largest ammonia ship-to-ship (STS) transfer, moving a full 38,500m³ cargo at the port of Sohar, Oman. Exmar's gas carrier Kortrijk safely discharged this cargo, equating to approximately 26,200 tonnes of liquid ammonia.

This transfer surpasses previous benchmarks, including a 23,000-tonne operation by NYK and Trammo last year and an 800m³ pilot in Rotterdam in 2025. The operation illustrates Exmar's expertise in ammonia logistics, a sector expected to grow as ammonia is recognized as a potential marine fuel. Despite regulatory challenges, Exmar is expanding its fleet with new dual-fuel gas carriers, signaling the operational viability of ammonia logistics at scale.
