About Avin Green Shipping

🚢 About AVIN International – Green Shipping Project

🌍 A Green Vision for Global Shipping

AVIN International is boldly redefining what it means to be a tanker company in the 21st century. Centered around its Green Shipping Project, AVIN is embedding environmental stewardship into the very fabric of its operations. The project’s ambition is clear: to lead the global energy-transport sector on the path to full decarbonization—without sacrificing safety, client service, or performance.

At its core, the initiative champions two interlinked missions:

  1. Environmental Leadership through Technological Innovation
    With the commissioning of Kriti Future, the world’s first ammonia-ready Suezmax tanker, AVIN has signaled its unwavering commitment to carbon-free marine propulsion. Certified by ABS at Ammonia Ready Level 1 (and LNG-ready at Level 1), this vessel is a blueprint for flexible, future-focused fleet development.

  2. Operational Transition without Disruption
    While debuting as conventionally fueled, the ship has been purpose-built for seamless retrofitting—minimizing downtime and future-proofing AVIN’s assets. The design accommodates oversized fuel storage, reinforced safety zones, and modular system layouts—all adaptable for ammonia or LNG conversion.


🔬 Why Ammonia: The Future of Zero‑Carbon Fuels

Ammonia stands out among emerging marine fuels. As a carbon-free compound (when produced from renewable sources), it delivers zero tank-to-wake emissions—a vital breakthrough for meeting IMO’s 2050 net-zero ambitions.

Key advantages of ammonia:

  • Energy & Handling: Similar liquid handling to traditional fuels, while avoiding cryogenics and high-pressure systems. This makes retrofitting older vessels more approachable .

  • Existing Infrastructure: Ports worldwide already store ammonia for fertilizer production. Building bunkering networks is feasible and scalable.

  • Scalable through Green Ammonia: By leveraging green hydrogen, a full carbon-free fuel cycle is achievable—though challenges remain in scaling production and supply chain regulation .


🤝 AVIN’s Strategic Pillars for Green Transition

The Green Shipping Project stands on four interconnected pillars that guide AVIN’s path to carbon-free shipping:

1. Trailblazing Fleet Design

AVIN didn’t just build any new tanker—it created the world’s first ABS-certified ammonia-ready Suezmax (Kriti Future), measuring 274m and 156,500 DWT.

Future vessels will follow suit, adopting advanced safety systems, specialized fuel compartments, and retrofit-ready design principles.

2. Collaborative Technology Development

AVIN is actively working with classification societies such as ABS and engineering teams from organisations like MAN and GTT to ensure next-generation dual-fuel engines and ammonia containment systems meet the highest international standards

3. Port and Bunkering Infrastructure

Understanding that fuel is only as good as its availability, AVIN engages with port authorities and major bunkering stakeholders in global hubs like Singapore. These efforts aim to pre-validate safety standards, storage logistics, and fuel-handling guidelines—the foundation for ammonia’s commercial adoption

4. Regulatory & Ecosystem Alignment

By aligning with IMO decarbonisation frameworks, national green ammonia strategies, and ESG guidelines, AVIN ensures it is not reacting—but shaping the rules of a greener maritime future .


⚙️ Operational Roll-Out & Milestones

  • 2022 Delivery of Kriti Future, setting a global precedent.

  • 2025–2026: Planning additional ammonia-ready vessels with retrofit capabilities.

  • 2028-2030: Collaborating on trial bunkering operations at major ports.

  • 2030-2035: Retrofitting some fleet units once green ammonia becomes viable, maintaining operational integrity throughout the shift.


💡 Beyond the Fuel: Data, Safety & Human Capital

AVIN’s green plan surpasses fuel conversion—it includes a holistic transformation:

  • Advanced Data Systems: Live energy management, route optimization, and engine diagnostics help reduce emissions and operational costs.

  • Crew Education: Dedicated training ensures safe handling of ammonia and fosters awareness of new environmental responsibilities.

  • Stakeholder Communication: AVIN engages openly with regulators, NGOs, clients, and investors—sharing its journey, progress, and lessons learned.


📐 Quantifying Our Green Impact

  • 40–60% CO₂ reduction, achieved by transitioning from conventional fuel to ammonia powering.

  • Zero methane slip, as ammonia combustion avoids methane emissions.

  • Tangible ESG upgrades, including upgrades in GRI, TCFD, and UN Global Compact reporting, adding credibility and transparency.
