Corrosion rate
ClassNK and the National Maritime Research Institute at the National Institute of Maritime, Port and Aviation Technology have
launched a joint research project on corrosion rate evaluation of liquefied CO
2 (LCO
2) cargo tanks under low-temperature and low-pressure conditions. This research aims to establish a technical foundation for
assessing corrosion risks in the transportation of LCO
2. The outcomes are expected to enhance the safety of LCO
2 cargo tanks, and to enable rational design and operation that balance corrosion risk and impurity removal costs.
