Anglo-Eastern launches state-of-the-art LNG/Ammonia bunkering station skid for maritime training

Anglo-Eastern, a global leader in innovative maritime training solutions, is proud to announce the establishment of a new LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas)/Ammonia bunkering station skid at Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy (AEMA) located in Karjat, Mumbai which was unveiled during Anglo-Eastern’s 2025 Mumbai Conference in February.

The skid is designed to provide hands-on training in the safe and efficient fuelling of LNG- and ammonia-powered vessels. This cutting-edge facility will serve as a cornerstone for advancing maritime safety standards and environmental goals, offering real-world experience to industry professionals working with these fuel types.

Equipped with the latest cryogenic fuelling technology and safety systems, the skid provides a controlled environment for training in LNG and ammonia transfer operations, emergency response procedures, and regulatory compliance. It is designed to replicate real-world bunkering operations, delivering essential education and skill development for those working in the rapidly expanding field of alternative marine fuels.

This state-of-the-art bunkering station skid is the newest addition to the dual-fuel centre of excellence at Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy and was inaugurated by Alexander Saverys, CEO at CMB.TECH on 20 February.

Mr. Saverys toasted to “the future of shipping”, recognising that “we need more companies to step up and acknowledge the necessity to pursue such initiatives if we are to ensure adequate talent pools in the run-up to net zero emissions by 2050”.

Capt. Aalok Sharma, Group Director of Training at Anglo-Eastern, stated: “We are thrilled to introduce this LNG/Ammonia bunkering station skid as part of our commitment to shaping the future of maritime fuel safety and efficiency. As the industry transitions toward sustainable fuels, the need for well-trained professionals has never been greater. This new facility will equip maritime personnel with the knowledge and hands-on experience required to meet the challenges of LNG and ammonia bunkering.”

The training programme, utilising the newly launched bunkering station skid, provides exposure to not only seafarers but also to stakeholders based ashore, placing them in a better position to support their onboard teams.

Anglo-Eastern is dedicated to supporting the maritime industry’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and enhance operational safety. The company’s investment in training demonstrates its ongoing commitment to innovation, safety, and environmental responsibility.

Further to the above, the week also saw an addition to the Anglo-Eastern MAN PrimeServ training facility at Anglo-Eastern Maritime Training Centre (AEMTC Mumbai) with the inauguration of a new ME GI Training facility. This new facility is built for Mk 2 ME GI engines and is capable of demonstrating important aspects of engine operations from which course participants will learn correct procedures for carrying out maintenance and safe operation of ME GI Engines onboard. This further strengthens Anglo-Eastern’s partnership with MAN Energy Solutions through the MAN PrimeServ Academy, which originated from an initial co-operation agreement to start MAN B&W Engine courses in Mumbai back in 2003.
