Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) has completed the installation of carbon capture technology on a managed MR tanker that it hopes will cut the vessel’s CO2 emissions by 40%.
The device was installed aboard the 49,700-dwt Pacific Cobalt (built 2020) in a 17-day operation in Rotterdam, the Singapore-based shipowner told TradeWinds.
The technology was supplied by Rotterdam-based Value Maritime (VM) in an installation that is said to be a first for a vessel of this size.
