The AiPs were awarded for the design of a 50,000 cbm floating LCO2 storage and injection unit (FSIU) and a 20,000 cbm LCO2 carrier at the Marintech China exhibition held last week, the China-headquartered shipping company said.

“The AiPs confirm the general feasibility of the conceptual designs as reviewed by DNV,” DSIC added.

“While the deployment of CCS technology is still in its early stages, a large number of LCO2 transport vessels, storage, and injection units are likely to be required in the future to scale up the sector,” DNV said.
