Bernhard Schulte Ordered Its First CO2 Tanker, A New Building At Dalian Shipbuilding Offshore (DSOC) To Show Carbon Capture Technology And Green Ports.

The Bernhard Schulte Group ordered a new liquid CO2 tanker with delivery expected in 2026. The vessel will be built at Dalian Shipbuilding Offshore (DSOC) and will feature technologies designed to reduce the carbon footprint. With a long-term charter agreement with Northern Lights, the initiative demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.

The new order is the first vessel of its kind for the Bernhard Schulte fleet and the fourth liquid carbon dioxide carrier for Northern Lights. The joint venture, which is owned by Shell, TotalEnergies, and Equinor, has already ordered three vessels, with two under construction at DSOC and a third recently ordered in September of this year, strengthening the companies’ commitment to reducing carbon emissions.

Expansion Of Bernhard Schulte Fleet Portfolio Focused On Liquid CO2

Ordering this vessel is an exciting step in the expansion of Bernhard Schulte’s fleet portfolio into an innovative future segment of tankers. We look forward to being part of the industry-leading Northern Lights project to provide transportation and storage infrastructure for liquid CO2, liquefied carbon dioxide, said Ian Beveridge, CEO of Bernhard Schulte.

Strategic Partnerships For Liquid CO2 Transport

‘This agreement marks another important milestone for us. CCS is a safe and efficient way to deal with emissions and is critical to meeting climate goals. We are excited to see Bernhard Schulte now entering the liquid CO2, liquefied carbon dioxide business, as strong partnerships are needed for success. We strongly believe in the tripartite collaboration between Northern Lights JV, DSOC, and Bernhard Schulte’, says Børre Jacobsen, General Director of Northern Lights.

Innovative Technology To Reduce CO2 Emissions In Maritime Transport

Northern Lights is developing a ship-based CO2 transportation solution and has implemented innovative technologies in the ship’s design to reduce CO2 emissions from maritime transport. The main fuel for the ships will be LNG. Combined with other proven technologies, such as wind-assisted rotor sails and air lubrication, the vessels will have a carbon footprint about 34% lower compared to conventional ships operating on marine fuel.

Ship Specifications For Liquid CO2 Transport

  • Capacity: 7,500 m3 of liquid CO2, liquefied carbon dioxide
  • Two cylindrical cargo tanks
  • Length: 130 meters
  • Cargo transport conditions: maximum pressure of 19 bar(g) and minimum temperature of -35°C
  • Carbon footprint 34% lower than ships powered by conventional fuel
  • LNG Dual Fuel, wind-assisted rotor sail and air lubrication
