KR (Korean Register) and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, along with five major Korean shipbuilders and the Korea Testing & Research Institute, launched an international working group in June 2025 to create safety management standards for ammonia effluent from ammonia-fueled ships. This initiative stems from Korea's 2024 proposal at the IMO, approved in April 2025.
The group convened on February 5, 2026, at the HD Hyundai Global R&D Center, planning to submit draft standards to the IMO by 2027. Korea aims to establish guidelines for ammonia effluent management, enhancing its maritime industry's competitiveness in the emerging ammonia-fueled ship market.
