Officials from the Antigua and Barbuda government were recently given a firsthand tour of an ammonia-powered vessel operated by global green energy company Fortescue, according to Antigua.news.

The tour offered government representatives an up-close look at the innovative vessel, which runs on ammonia as an alternative fuel source — a technology considered part of the broader push toward cleaner maritime energy solutions.

Fortescue, the Australian-founded resources and green energy company, has been expanding its presence in the clean energy sector and has previously expressed interest in establishing green hydrogen and ammonia operations in the Caribbean region.

The visit signals a continued engagement between Fortescue and Antiguan authorities as the island nation explores potential partnerships in the renewable energy space. No further details regarding the outcome of the tour or any formal agreements were immediately available.
