Seabound, a UK-based marine carbon capture player, has launched what it claims to be a “first-of-its-kind” onboard carbon capture project together with the Hartmann Group, ship management company InterMaritime Group and Heidelberg Materials Northern Europe.

As disclosed, the carbon capture system (CCS) has been fitted onto the UBC Cork, a 5,700 GT cement-carrying vessel owned by Hartmann, managed by InterMaritime and chartered out to Heidelberg Materials. The captured carbon dioxide (CO2) is to be offloaded at the Port of Brevik, Norway, and used in Heidelberg Materials’ Brevik cement plant.
