Construction of the methanol dual-fuel bulk carrier of Fujian Guohang Ocean Shipping at Wuhu Shipyard has successfully commenced.

Pacific International Lines (PIL) announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the China Classification Society Wuhan Rules And Research Institute (CCSWR) pledging to deepen cooperation in shipping decarbonisation and beyond.

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.  

TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) and JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration Corporation (JX) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop a Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) value chain between Japan and Australia, including marine transport of carbon dioxide (CO2).

Fujian Guohang Ocean Shipping (Group) Co., and Wuhu Shipyard Co., Ltd. successfully signed a construction contract for four+six 89,000 DWT methanol dual-fuel bulk carriers.

DNV has entered into a Joint Development Project (JDP) with Singapore-based shipping company SDTR Marine to cooperate on a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) feasibility study for the latter’s 85,000 dwt Kamsarmax bulk carrier.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a long-established technology but its profile has grown as a potentially significant solution to achieve rapid decarbonisation. Gard highlights the associated risks and opportunities for the shipping industry.

Recently, China Classification Society (CCS) issued the first type approval certificate in China for the computer monitoring and alarm system that meets the requirements of IACS URE27 to Supcon Ocean Technology (Zhejiang) Co.

Crowley and Carbon Ridge, in collaboration with the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) Maritime Environmental and Technical Assistance (META) program, have initiated a pilot carbon capture project onboard Crowley’s container ship.

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. and Bapco Energies B.S.C. announced the signing of a MoU for development of cross border carbon dioxide (CO2) transport and sequestration with the goal of establishing a carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) value chain, where MOL provides marine transportation of liquified CO2 and Bapco Energies provides the sequestration sites.
