New design wind-assisted LCO2 tanker

Ship designer Deltamarin and Greek shipowner EcoLog have unveiled a new design for an Liquid CO2 (LCO2) tanker. According to Deltamarin, the design is ready for tender to shipyards worldwide.

EcoLog, managed by Peter Livanos, is involved in the development of midstream CCUS (Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage) projects and aims to launch by the end of 2028.
A sister company to GasLog and DryLog, EcoLog aims to build dozens of LNG carriers and develop a connected network of port terminals to move CO2 for permanent storage.

Speaking to Riviera Maritime Media, Jasper Heikens, managing director of the company, estimated that EcoLog will have the resources to move 5 million tonnes of CO2 over the next few years, rising to 50 million tonnes by 2035. The company is initially looking at terminals of 5 mta (million tonnes per year) and then doubling that to 10 mta.

EcoLog has since received the industry’s first-ever ISM compliance document from classification society ABS, for operating LCO2 tankers on behalf of Bermuda’s flag authority.
Developed jointly with Deltamarin, the wind-driven liquid CO2 tanker’s design is intra-community, short-range, low-pressure and shallow draft.
