(DSOC) in China, it has a cargo capacity of 7,500 m³ and can operate under conditions of a maximum of 19 bar(g) pressure and -35°C temperature. This vessel will facilitate the transport of captured CO₂ from Northwest Europe to Norway for geological storage.
Equipped with an LNG dual-fuel propulsion system and advanced technologies, it aims to minimize its carbon emissions. As BSM enters the LCO₂ carrier management sector, this development highlights ongoing collaborations in the green energy transition.
