The 20,000 cbm vessel features Type C tanks. ABS completed design reviews based on class and statutory requirements.
“Hydrogen is a key enabler of the clean energy economy. In decarbonizing different industry sectors, hydrogen plays critical roles as a fuel, feedstock, energy storage, and load balancing. As the demand for hydrogen grows, vessels like the design from SHI will be critical for its transportation and development of the hydrogen value chain,” said Gareth Burton, ABS Senior Vice President, Global Engineering.
“Through this joint development project, SHI secured a detailed design for a liquefied hydrogen cargo containment system and cargo handling system. SHI plans to prepare for commercialization of liquefied hydrogen carriers following a mock-up verification,” added Ho-Ki Lee, SHI Vice President, Green Energy Technology Center.
ABS is the world’s premier classification society for gas carriers with more than 50 years of experience, and is leading the maritime industry in comprehensive decarbonization and sustainability solutions. Learn more here.
