Höegh Evi and Aker BP have been awarded an Approval in Principle (AiP) from DNV for a next-generation liquefied CO2 (LCO2)carrier. The vessel, developed in Norway by Höegh Evi, Aker BP and Moss Maritime, is designed to transport captured CO2 safely and cost-efficiently from European industrial emitters to offshore sequestration sites on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
The AiP is the first to be reviewed under DNV’s new CO2 RECOND class notation, developed specifically for CO2 handling and conditioning. It includes a comprehensive assessment of the vessel’s design, including its onboard CO2 conditioning module.
The next-generation liquefied CO2 (LCO2) carrier is a key part of a fully integrated carbon removal option for both large and dispersed EU emitters. By integrating CO2 conditioning and offloading capabilities directly into the shuttle carriers, the design minimizes complexity, reduces risk of impurity co-mingling and ensures reliable injection into offshore reservoirs.
