The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump systems for two LNG fuelled carriers that may transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage services in Norway.
2021 has been a document year for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is growing infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and other European international locations by ship to a receiving terminal in western Norway for intermediate storage, before being transported by pipeline for permanent storage in a geological reservoir 2,600 m under the seabed.
The two CO2 carriers are being built at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are expected to be operational in 2024. Both vessels could have a capability of 7,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will ship two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for every ship. In this project, Svanehøj’s multigas expertise will be proven to its full potential, as the buyer desires the pumps to also be used to handling LPG natural gas. Over the years, Svanehøj has supplied cargo pump methods to more than 1,100 LPG tankers all over the world.
“We have gained the order through our long-standing companion, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers complete cargo dealing with systems for the CO2 carriers,” stated Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo fuel pumps, which they are very familiar with from quite a few LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump systems for CO2 carriers for the explanation that late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our expertise from the relatively few CO2 ships constructed thus far, we’re a half of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) projects. CCS is a focus space in our enterprise strategy, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is therefore of great strategic importance. This might be a giant marketplace for us inside the subsequent few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj started 2022 with a new “Powering a greater future” strategy and a goal of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the tip of 2026. ไดอะแฟรม ซีล is primarily focused on supporting the transition to climate-neutral shipping, but also on investing in new enterprise areas, together with CCS.
