Carbon capture

ClassNK has issued approvals in principle (AiPs) for the concept designs of bulk carrier installed with a membrane-based onboard carbon capture and storage system and 83,000m ³ ammonia carrier with IMO Type B independent tank developed by Oshima Shipbuilding Co. These AiPs demonstrate its feasibility from regulatory and safety perspectives. Following the reviews, ClassNK confirmed that both designs complied with the requirements and issued the AiPs.
