Estimation of fuel storage capacity for Ammonia-Fueled Vessels

This dataset is part of NH3CRAFT Deliverable D5.4: Parametrized Test-Benchmark with Dataset of Desktop Studies. It was generated using a MATLAB/Simulink model developed for a digital design platform supporting the conceptual development of ammonia-fueled ships. The dataset enables parametric studies focused on estimating the ammonia fuel storage capacity and operational profiles of vessels under different scenarios. The model estimates the fuel storage capacity considering the vessel’s operational profile, the vessel’s available installation spaces, and tank configuration options.
The operational profile includes engine power, vessel speed, and days of operation. The vessel dimensions take into account the available installation spaces and the breadth of the vessel. Several tank configuration options are explored, including the use of Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) and Forty-foot Equivalent Unit (FEU) tanks—made of either metallic or composite materials—and placement strategies such as horizontal placement (with and without stacking allowance) and vertical placement.
The key outputs include the tank capacity per installation space in cubic meters, the vessel range (or coverage) per installation space in nautical miles, and the number of tanks per installation space. vessel range per installation space (nautical miles), and the number of tanks per installation space
