MAGPIE Project Validates Safe Ammonia Bunkering in Rotterdam Port

The EU-funded MAGPIE project has successfully demonstrated that ship-to-ship ammonia bunkering can be performed safely within an active port environment. Using the Port of Rotterdam as a test site, the project validated a safety framework and readiness tools to help the maritime industry transition away from fossil fuels. This demonstration provides a practical blueprint for global ports to accelerate permitting and regulatory processes for ammonia. By establishing concrete operational guidelines, the project supports the broader goal of deploying zero-carbon fuels across the global shipping value chain.
