Gas carriers: navigating diverse opportunities
ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
The webinar will tackle the main developments of the gas carrier industry, except liquefied natural gas. Gas carriers are part of the energy transition as they transport cleaner fuels and help industries to reduce the GHG footprint. At the same time, they have to find their path to decarbonize with different key technologies.
The opportunities and challenges for specific markets will be addressed. Approximately one third of the LPG carriers segment is able to transport ammonia. Although this is not a new industry, the volume predicted to be traded in the coming years is significant and the fleet is forecasted to grow. In particular Very Large Gas Carriers have been designed recently with large cargo tanks and LPG and/or Ammonia fuel installations. There is also a relatively long experience in ethane and ethylene shipping, but the ship sizes were mid to small until recently. Because of the increasing volume of cargo, the new designs should consider efficient containment systems, either independent type B or membrane tanks.
An emerging market that will also be a decarbonization enabler is the transportation of liquid CO2 by ship from emitters to sequestration. The experience so far is limited with relatively small ships in service, most of them not involved in the CCS projects. Last but not least, although the industry is not mature enough, export projects of hydrogen are under discussion. These ships will be highly innovative and have quite specific risks to take in mind in the design, construction and operation.
