ABS issued general design approval to Samsung Heavy Industries  for its detailed design of a liquefied hydrogen carrier.

The 20,000 cbm vessel features Type C tanks. ABS completed design reviews based on class and statutory requirements.

“Hydrogen is a key enabler of the clean energy economy. In decarbonizing different industry sectors, hydrogen plays critical roles as a fuel, feedstock, energy storage and load balancing. As the demand for hydrogen grows, vessels like the design from SHI will be critical for its transportation and development of the hydrogen value chain,” said Gareth Burton, ABS Senior Vice President, Global Engineering.

SHI plans to prepare for commercialization of liquefied hydrogen carriers following a mock-up verification,” said Ho-Ki Lee, SHI Vice President, Green Energy Technology Center.
