ABS Awards AIP to DSME for LCO2 Cargo Tanks
Design Allows Future Carbon Capture Onboard Installation (MILAN) ABS has awarded approval in principle (AIP) to Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. (DSME) for its design of cargo tanks on board super-large, liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2) carriers. The cargo tank of approximately 15,000 cbm will be mounted on a 100,000 cbm LCO2 carrier and is designed for operational efficiency in a vertical asymmetric structure to maximize the loading weight, so enough space can be provided to install liquefied natural gas (LNG) propulsion engines and carbon capture devices for
