South Korean ship makers HD Hyundai Mipo and HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE) have received approval from Korean Register (KR) for their IMO Type-C tank as part of efforts to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly fuels such as LNG, ammonia, and hydrogen.
The South Korean trio said they designed the tank to address critical challenges of achieving both efficiency and safety in storing and transporting these alternative fuels under high-pressure and cryogenic conditions, and in particular, for small and medium-sized gas carriers and bunkering vessels.
The approval in principle (AiP) issued on September 10 covers their IMO Type-C tank design with engineering critical assessment (ECA) methods applied from the early stage.
According to the companies, this methodology enables the prediction of crack propagation in metallic structures and provides a structural safety analysis throughout the tank’s operational lifetime under real service conditions
