HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE) has received ABS approval in principle (AIP) for a tank design that facilitates large-scale hydrogen transport and storage. The tank design incorporates a vacuum insulation system that reduces the time needed to create a vacuum in large tanks, crucial for safe transportation. This new technology allows for maintaining a vacuum state at -253°C, ensuring safer and loss-free transport of significant quantities of liquid hydrogen. ABS conducted design reviews according to class and statutory requirements. Key industry stakeholders like Woodside Energy, MOL, and Hyundai Glovis are working with HD KSOE on the joint development of an 80,000 cbm liquid hydrogen carrier, reflecting confidence in the efficiency of designing and constructing liquid hydrogen ships. The successful verification test signifies a crucial milestone in the study of transporting liquefied hydrogen, addressing the challenge of increasing tank size and marking progress towards commercialization. The approval has been met with praise from industry experts for HD KSOE's commitment to innovation in large-scale energy shipping and is expected to lay a solid foundation for future advancements in the field.
