The 80,000 cbm carrier features spherical tanks with reinforced structures to reduce heat transfer and limit cargo losses from boil-off gas (BOG) during the transport of hydrogen.

The design uses advanced materials and technology to ensure greater safety, efficiency and reliability under extreme cryogenic conditions, according to DNV.
