SABIC Agri-Nutrients and Aramco have announced that the Vessel Seasurfer, carrying 25,000 mt of independently certified low-carbon “cradle-to-gate” blue ammonia, is expected to reach its destination in South Korea between Dec. 9-13, marking the world’s first commercial shipment of its kind. Lotte Fine Chemical (LFC), which has a long-standing relationship with SABIC AN, will receive the product.
Earlier this year, SABIC AN and Aramco received the world’s first independent certifications recognizing blue ammonia and blue hydrogen production from TÜV Rheinland, a leading independent testing, inspection, and certification agency based in Germany. The shipment of blue ammonia to South Korea will be the first to capitalize on this certification achievement.
