The three parties are developing infrastructure to transport CO2 from industrial emitters by ship to a receiving terminal in Norway.

Independently developed by DISC, the vessels will be around 130 metres length, 21.2 metres width. The first of the vessels is expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2024.

As well as LNG power, the vessels will also apply wind-assisted propulsion system and air lubrication to reduce carbon intensity by around 34% compared to conventional systems.

The vessels will be registered in Norway and classed by DNV.
