Northern Lights is growing infrastructure to move CO2 from industrial emitters in Norway and different European countries by ship to a receiving terminal in western Norway for intermediate storage, earlier than being transported by pipeline for everlasting storage in a geological reservoir 2,600 m underneath the seabed.
The two CO2 carriers are being built at Dalian Shipbuilding (DSIC) in China and are expected to be operational in 2024. Both vessels could have a capacity of seven,500 m3 of liquid CO2. Svanehøj will deliver two 15 m deepwell cargo pumps of for each ship.

Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump methods for CO2 carriers for the rationale that late Nineteen Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the comparatively few CO2 ships constructed so far, we are part of the dialogue on a quantity of of the upcoming CCS (carbon capture & Storage) initiatives. CCS is a focus space in our business technique, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is therefore of nice strategic importance. This could possibly be a giant market for us inside the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
