Liquefied CO2 Cargo Containment System Earns ABS Approval
(HOUSTON) ABS granted an approval in principle (AIP) to HD Hyundai Mipo (HMD) for its design of a liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2) carrier. Presented at Gastech 2024, the AIP represented the culmination of a joint development project between ABS and HMD. HMD developed a cargo containment system optimized for a 35,000 cbm LCO2 carrier using new cargo tank materials. ABS completed design reviews based on class and statutory requirements for liquefied gas carriers. “Capturing and transporting carbon are key components in the carbon value chain for the global energy transition.
