The 2024 Gastech exhibition in Houston showcased a transformation in the gas shipping industry, with a focus on new energy tradelanes and ship types. DNV awarded approval in principle to HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering for an electric propulsion liquefied hydrogen (LH₂) carrier design concept, enabling large-scale LH₂ storage and transport. The vessel features advanced liquid hydrogen tanks and a dual fuel electric propulsion system. Collaboration between industry leaders like Woodside, Hyundai Glovis, and MOL is driving the development of a comprehensive maritime transportation value chain for liquid hydrogen. Additionally, DNV granted approvals for innovative LNG carrier designs by companies like HD Hyundai Heavy Industries. Korean companies are also making strides in low-pressure liquefied CO2 (LCO2) carrier designs, with Hyundai Mipo receiving an approval for a 35,000 cu m LCO2 carrier. The event highlighted the industry's focus on environmental sustainability and technological advancements, setting the stage for a future of greener and more efficient gas shipping.
