South Korean shipbuilder Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) and its shipyard Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) have received approval in principle (AIP) for the design of a large commercial liquefied hydrogen carrier. <\/strong><\/p>\n The AIP — that has been described as the world’s first for this vessel type — has been granted by the Korean Register of Shipping (KRS) and the Liberian International Ship & Corporate Registry (LISCR). <\/p>\n As explained, the approval paves the way for the shipbuilder to accept orders for the liquefied hydrogen carrier in the future.<\/p>\n The 20,000 cbm vessel was jointly developed by KSOE, HMD and Hyundai Glovis, a Seoul-based logistics company and part of the Hyundai Kia Automotive Group.<\/p>\n Specifically, the ship can carry large quantities of hydrogen after reducing its gas-state volume by 1\/800 and then liquefying it under minus 253 degrees Celsius. <\/p>\n The AIP comes ten months after the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier was launched in Japan. The 8000-ton unit owned by CO2<\/sub>-free Hydrogen Energy Supply-chain Technology Research Association (HySTRA), formed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Iwatani Corporation (Iwatani), Shell Japan Limited, and Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. (J-POWER) in 2016, with the aim of promoting hydrogen as a fuel source. <\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n According to the Hydrogen Council, hydrogen represents a central pillar of the energy transformation required to limit global warming. It can play several major roles in this transformation and one of them is decarbonizing transportation. Namely, hydrogen<\/a> can be considered as a possible solution for future zero-carbon marine vessels as it offers the highest energy content per mass when compared to other fuels, high diffusivity and high flame speed.<\/p>\n The post Korea Shipbuilding gets AIP for liquefied hydrogen carrier design<\/a> appeared first on Offshore Energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n world maritime news<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" South Korean shipbuilder Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) and its shipyard Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) have received approval in principle (AIP) for the design of a large commercial liquefied hydrogen carrier.
