Mitsubishi Shipbuilding is to build what has been described as a liquefied CO2 (LCO2) carrier as part of a wider Japanese initiative to develop high-volume CO2 transport.
The vessel is being built in conjunction with Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization’s research into carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS).
The ship will be constructed at the Enoura Plant of Mitsubishi Shipbuilding’s Shimonoseki Shipyard & Machinery Works, with delivery scheduled for the second half of 2023.
