ขนาดpressuregauge Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to provide pump systems for two LNG fuelled carriers that can transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage facilities in Norway.
2021 has been a document year for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is growing infrastructure to move CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and other European countries by ship to a receiving terminal in western Norway for intermediate storage, before being transported by pipeline for everlasting 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 anticipated to be operational in 2024. Both vessels may have a capacity of seven,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will ship two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for each ship. In this venture, Svanehøj’s multigas expertise shall be proven to its full potential, because the customer wants the pumps to also be used to dealing with LPG natural gas. Over the years, Svanehøj has equipped cargo pump systems to greater than 1,100 LPG tankers around the world.
“We have received the order by way of our long-standing companion, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers complete cargo handling systems for the CO2 carriers,” stated Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, gross sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo fuel pumps, which they are very acquainted with from numerous LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump techniques for CO2 carriers because the late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our expertise from the relatively few CO2 ships built thus far, we are part of the dialogue on a number of of the upcoming CCS (carbon capture & Storage) initiatives. CCS is a focus area in our business technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is subsequently of nice strategic importance. This could be an enormous marketplace for us within the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj started 2022 with a new “Powering a better future” strategy and a target of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the top of 2026. The strategy is primarily centered on supporting the transition to climate-neutral transport, but in addition on investing in new enterprise areas, together with CCS.
