ABS issues AIP for ECOLOG’s low-pressure 40,000 m3 design for LCO2 carrier

ABS issued an approval in principle (AIP) for a low-pressure, shallow-draft, low carbon footprint 40,000 cbm liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) carrier design for ECOLOG Services Ltd. (ECOLOG). This AIP is the result of extensive cooperation within a joint industry project on the detailed design development, taking into account LCO2 critical characteristics, including operational requirements with respect to low pressure and shallow draft. The design maximises energy integration and minimises greenho...

ABS industry first audit of ECOLOG for the operation of LCO2 carriers

ABS has awarded ECOLOG, a mid-stream Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Sequestration (CCUS) service provider, with an industry-first ISM Document of Compliance for the operation of liquified CO2 carriers on behalf of the Bermuda flag administration. ABS audited ECOLOG to verify compliance with the International Safety Management Code. ECOLOG plans to build and own CO2 terminals and a carrier fleet to service the emerging CCUS sector, connecting hard-to-abate emitters with cost-competitive se...

ABS, ECOLOG, Hanwha Ocean and Babcock Sign pioneering LCO2 carrier study

ABS joined a pioneering joint industry project (JIP) to collaborate on the development of a detailed design of a 40K cbm liquified carbon dioxide (LCO2) carrier that meets Class and statutory requirements with Ecolog Services Ltd. (ECOLOG), Hanwha Ocean Co., Ltd. and Babcock International Liquid Gas Equipment (LGE). The ultimate design will maximise energy integration and minimise greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while being cargo versatile and capable of offshore offloading, as in the direct inj...
