Norwegian company CryoVac has secured an Approval in Principle (AiP) from DNV for its vacuum insulation system tailored for liquid hydrogen (LH2) transportation by sea. This milestone allows CryoVac to introduce its innovative technology to shipowners and designers interested in leading the liquid hydrogen shipping sector. The company's LH2 containment design features prismatic tanks and CryoPan hexagonal vacuum insulation panels, enabling the development of a self-supporting prismatic tank within an insulated hold. CEO Aage Bjørn Andersen highlighted the effectiveness of CryoVac's insulation approach in maintaining low boil-off rates without compromising tank integrity. CryoVac's future plans involve creating a 45,000 cu m LH2 carrier with three cargo holds, emphasizing both liquid hydrogen transport and hydrogen-powered operation for eco-friendly shipping. Andersen expressed the company's commitment to addressing the global demand for a secure and efficient liquid hydrogen shipping solution by collaborating with interested shipowners and hydrogen producers for a sustainable supply chain.
