Seabound’s compact carbon capture system installed on a 3200 TEU container ship has succeeded, during a test, in capturing CO2 at approximately 80% efficiency and sulphur at around 90% efficiency.
As informed, the Seabound team, in collaboration with Lomar Shipping, lomarlabs, and support from industry leaders such as Hapag-Lloyd AG, Columbia Shipmanagement, American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Lloyd’s Register, Sefine Shipyard – Turkiye, R2 Labs, and the UK Government, have successfully concluded the maiden voyage of the pilot project.
According to Seabound, the pilot initiative involved team members taking turns sailing on the container ship to conduct a series of carbon capture trials, providing valuable hands-on operating experience at sea.
This achievement is important, taking into consideration that, as Lloyd’s Register found in their research, evidence is required to validate the real-world performance of onboard capture technology, to ensure adopters can be assured of the technology’s emission reduction credentials.
