Knud E Hansen has unveiled a new CO2 tanker design. The company stated that the transport of CO2 by ship from captured locations to offshore storage areas, as well as, onshore terminals will be a major industry that requires a new kind of vessel: the dedicated CO2 carrier.
Knud E Hansen’s CO2 carrier will be a DP-2 ship with an anchor loading system. It will have tanks for storage and transfer equipment for the off-loading and optional heating of CO2 to pressure and temperature for the underground injection site.
The ship is equipped with a novel propulsion system that features a twin-skeg design with two contra-rotating propellers.
