Innovative Liquid Hydrogen Carrier Design Receives Approval at Gastech Exhibition in Houston
Key Ideas
  • Approval in Principle (AiP) granted at Gastech Exhibition in Houston for an 80,000 m3 liquid hydrogen carrier's design by CB&I and Hanwha Ocean, supported by DNV.
  • The design includes a cargo containment system meeting safety standards and featuring low boil-off of 0.05% per day, enabling international liquid hydrogen supply chains.
  • CB&I's expertise in large-scale storage systems and Hanwha Ocean's proficiency in gas carriers complement to create a safe and efficient liquid hydrogen carrier design.
  • DNV, a leading classification society, formalized the AiP confirming compliance with IGC Code and IMO's recommendations for LH2 transport.
At the Gastech Exhibition & Conference in Houston, CB&I, in collaboration with Hanwha Ocean, received Approval in Principle (AiP) from DNV for the design of an 80,000 m3 liquid hydrogen carrier. This AiP signifies the compliance of CB&I's cargo containment systems with safety standards and regulations such as the IGC Code and the Interim Recommendations for Carriage of Liquefied Hydrogen in Bulk. Mark Butts, Senior Vice President for CB&I, highlighted the synergy between the two companies, stating that the carrier design boasts a low boil-off rate of 0.05% per day, facilitating the realization of international liquid hydrogen supply chains. CB&I's experience in large-scale storage systems combined with Hanwha Ocean's proficiency in gas carriers resulted in a design that meets safety standards while being efficient. The AiP formalization by DNV further solidifies the design's compliance with industry regulations.
