Bernhard Schulte's first LCO2 carrier step closer to Northern Lights
The fourth liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2) carrier destined for the Northern Lights CO2 project in Norway has been christened in China.
Northern Purpose has been custom-designed to transport liquefied CO2 as part of the world’s first cross-border CO2 transport and storage infrastructure. It was built at China’s Dalian Shipbuilding Offshore Co. (DSOC) and was christened on May 19.
This is Bernhard Schulte’s first LCO2 carrier and the fourth for Northern Lights. All four are sister vessels with the same design and have a cargo capacity of 7,500 m3 each, distributed across two cylindrical pressure tanks.
The four ships will transport CO2 from European emitters to Northern Lights’ CO2 receiving terminal at Øygarden, before it is permanently stored beneath the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
