Iran-linked ammonia vessel transits strait of Hormuz

Iran-linked ammonia vessel transits strait of Hormuz

London, 8 April (Argus) — An Iran-linked ammonia vessel successfully transited the strait of Hormuz over the weekend and is expected to deliver a shipment to India under a spot deal that has yet to be finalised, according to market participants and Kpler ship-tracking data. The Handysize vessel loaded from producer inventories in Iran. It is still understood that all ammonia production is off line in the country. The shipment is under discussion with buyers in India, where Argus last assessed prices at $750/t cfr on a midpoint basis on 2 April. Prices in India were $255/t lower before the start of the US-Israel war with Iran at around $495/t cfr on 26 February. It is the first ammonia shipment to be exported through the strait since the outbreak of war in the region on 28 February. A limited number of vessels have made safe passage through the waterway — Iran has signed agreements with "friendly" countries for the safe passage of vessels, including Malaysia , Pakistan, China, Russia, Iraq and Bangladesh. "These restrictions apply only to enemy countries," a spokesman for Iran's military previously said via the WANA News Agency in Tehran. The US and Iran then said on 7 April that they would halt hostilities for a two-week period to finalise a peace deal, with US president Donald Trump saying the deal was "subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate, and safe opening of the strait of Hormuz". Iran's supreme national security council confirmed the ceasefire agreement but described the peace proposal under discussion as enshrining "continued Iranian control over the strait of Hormuz", according to Iran's Tasnim news agency. Vessel movements in the waterway are little changed so far following the US and Iran's conflicting statements, as shipowners and operators await further clarity on security arrangements and insurance cover. Two medium-sized gas carriers (MGCs) laden with ammonia have been stuck in the Mideast Gulf for more than five weeks and have shown no signs of movement since the ceasefire announcement. The Eco Oracle (26,870t) and Green One (25,835t) are expected to be the first non-Iranian ammonia vessels to exit the region when exports do resume. But a meaningful resumption of ammonia exports will not be immediate. The status of Saudi Arabian producer Sabic's 330,000 t/yr export capacity is unclear following strikes at Jubail on 7 April. Fellow Saudi producer Maaden has taken two of its three 1.1mn t/yr ammonia units off line and state-owned QatarEnergy's ammonia production was taken off line on 3 March following drone strikes. Stock levels in tanks across the region available for immediate export once the strait reopens are not known. Maaden has two MGCs located within a few days' travel of the region, which could load a total of over 50,000t if stocks are available. Just 30,000t shipped from the Middle East in March, all of which loaded from Oman. The region typically exports 350,000 t/month.

Sungrow, CRRC to provide tech for Kenya green NH3 plant

London, 24 March (Argus) — Chinese electrolyser manufacturers Sungrow Hydrogen and CRRC Zhuzhou have secured electrolyser supply contracts for the first phase of a geothermal-powered hydrogen and ammonia project in Olkaria, Kenya, developed by Chinese firm Kaishan Group. Kaishan signed a steam supply agreement with state utility KenGen in October 2025, under which KenGen will supply steam from existing geothermal wells for Kaishan to generate 165MW of electricity to power the electrolysers. Chinese firm Wuhuan Engineering is serving as engineering, procurement and construction contractor. Works on the site began in November 2025. Sungrow will supply 16 alkaline electrolysers rated at 1,000 Nm³/h each, while CRRC will provide eight units of the same rating, giving phase 1 a combined capacity of 24,000 Nm³/h, or around 120MW. This is sufficient to produce roughly 19,000 t/yr of hydrogen assuming continuous operation, which will be converted to the 100,000 t/yr of ammonia planned for phase 1. Kaishan plans to scale to 200,000 t/yr of ammonia at full build-out, with output processed into 480,000 t/yr of green fertilisers comprising 180,000 t/yr of urea and 300,000 t/yr of calcium ammonium nitrate. Kenya's government will offtake the fertiliser for distribution to local farmers to reduce import dependence. Total investment stands at around $800mn, with annual revenues projected at $220mn-250mn over a 25-year operating life, Kaishan said previously. Geothermal power offers a significant advantage for electrolytic hydrogen production, with capacity factors of around 90pc enabling near-continuous baseload operation without the intermittency or energy storage costs associated with solar and wind. Kenya's energy department estimates the country holds 10GW of geothermal potential, with only around 950MW of installed capacity to date. Chinese electrolyser makers have been increasing their equipment exports in recent months, supplying to projects in Europe, Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Sungrow delivered 160MW of alkaline electrolysers to Acme's green ammonia project in Oman , a 3MW containerised PEM system for Italy's MW-scale solar-to-hydrogen project , and a containerised alkaline system to a green hydrogen blending project in Brazil.

CIP, Hy2Gen cancel renewable ammonia project in Norway

Paris, 9 March (Argus) — Danish renewables developer Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and German hydrogen company Hy2Gen have cancelled a 240MW renewable hydrogen and ammonia project in Norway. The Iverson eFuels project, planned for Sauda, in southwest Norway, lost its grid access. Norwegian power system operator Statnett decided in late 2025 to withdraw a previously allocated 270MW of electricity capacity because project development was more than two years delayed compared to original plans, Iverson said. When the Iverson project was announced in 2022 , the companies expected construction to begin in 2024 and operations to start in 2027, targeting production of 200,000 t/yr of renewable ammonia. Statnett said that new capacity could be available only once the grid is upgraded, which is expected in 2033-2035. "Such an uncertain situation" about securing grid capacity "is not compatible with further development of the project," Iverson said. The project partners will assess possible development of a data centre project at the Sauda site "so that the work and resources invested in the Iverson project can be utilised to create new activity", they said.

Ammonia vessels reroute from Mideast Gulf

Ammonia vessels reroute from Mideast Gulf

London, 5 March (Argus) — Ammonia carriers are starting to reroute away from the Mideast Gulf as the ongoing US-Israel war with Iran prevents vessels from transiting the strait of Hormuz, choking off more than one fifth of the world's ammonia supply. The Nova Breeze (25,500t) under operation by Japanese trader Mitsui has rerouted from its previous destination of Mesaieed, Qatar, after state-owned QatarEnergy halted production of ammonia and other products on 3 March. The shutdown came after a done strike on operating facilities in Ras Laffan and Mesaieed Industrial City. The vessel will now load next at Bontang in late March and is expected to deliver the cargo to Tampa in the US Gulf for Mosaic. OCP's Navigator Jorf (25,500t) had been due to load at Ras Al Khair in mid-March from Saudi Arabian producer Maaden. The vessel was heading towards the Cape of Good Hope but has turned around in the south Atlantic Ocean, vessel-tracking data show. Its next destination is not yet known. Trading firm Trafigura was expected to load its Astor (26,870t) at Jubail, Saudi Arabia, in March and is likely to now be exploring other options. The vessel is currently by Kandla, India. Maaden and fellow producers Sabic and OQ are all still producing in the Middle East, although Oman's state-owned OQ has had to reduce run rates for safety reasons. Limited port operations at Salalah have resumed . Salalah may be the only Mideast Gulf port able to export any ammonia while the war continues. But whether individual vessels will be able to load at Salalah will likely depend on owners' risk appetite and war risk premiums. Laden vessels Eco Oracle (26,870t) and Green One (25,800t) remain trapped inside the Mideast Gulf without any way to transit past the strait of Hormuz. Maaden's Searambler (25,500t) was due to load at Ras Al Khair in early March for shipment to Iffco at Kandla. The buyer is seeking alternative supply arrangements while the vessel remains idle in the Mideast Gulf. Efforts by US president Donald Trump to guarantee safe passage and political risk insurance for vessels have not been sufficient to reassure vessel insurers and operators, meaning that more than 4 mn t/yr from producers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE and Iran is currently cut off from global markets.
