The UK is making significant strides in the development of ammonia-fueled engine solutions, supported by its Clean Maritime Plan and National Shipbuilding Strategy Refresh. National policies aim to establish the UK as a leader in zero-emission shipping. British ports such as Southampton and Aberdeen are actively engaging in partnerships with Nordic and EU maritime hubs to develop ammonia bunkering capacity and port readiness. Government funding through Innovate UK and the Department for Transport is driving pilot projects and retrofitting initiatives. However, challenges related to ammonia storage, public perception, and economic feasibility persist. Nevertheless, the UK’s established maritime sector, robust R&D ecosystem, and supportive regulatory climate make it a promising market with high readiness for dual-fuel engine integration. The UK is also exploring cross-border collaborations for ammonia fuel certification and workforce training.
