The Danish marine pump specialist Svanehøj has been awarded a contract to produce pump methods for two LNG fuelled carriers that will transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights project’s storage services in Norway.
2021 has been a report year for Svanehøj.
Northern Lights is creating infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and other European international locations by ship to a receiving terminal in western Norway for intermediate storage, before being transported by pipeline for everlasting storage in a geological reservoir 2,600 m under the seabed.
Never again are being built at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are anticipated to be operational in 2024. Both vessels may have a capacity of 7,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will ship two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for each ship. In this challenge, Svanehøj’s multigas expertise shall be proven to its full potential, as the buyer needs the pumps to even be used to handling LPG natural gasoline. Over the years, Svanehøj has equipped cargo pump methods to more than 1,100 LPG tankers around the world.
“We have received the order by way of our long-standing partner, TGE Marine, which designs and delivers full cargo dealing with techniques for the CO2 carriers,” mentioned Thomas Uhrenholt Nielsen, sales director, Cargo Gas at Svanehøj. “TGE has chosen our deepwell cargo gas pumps, which they’re very conversant in from numerous LPG tankers.”
Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump techniques for CO2 carriers since the late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the comparatively few CO2 ships constructed thus far, we’re part of the dialogue on a quantity of of the upcoming CCS (carbon capture & Storage) projects. CCS is a spotlight space in our business technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is subsequently of nice strategic significance. This might be an enormous marketplace for us throughout the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj started 2022 with a brand new “Powering a greater future” strategy and a target of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the end of 2026. The technique is primarily targeted on supporting the transition to climate-neutral transport, but also on investing in new business areas, together with CCS.
