At Nor-Shipping 2025 , Gisle Nysaeter , Senior Principal Engineer at leading naval architecture firm Brevik Engineering , unveiled a breakthrough in LCO₂ ship design: The most efficient 50,000 m³ low-pressure liquid CO₂ (LCO₂) carrier to date.
This pioneering concept delivers a powerful blend of cutting-edge technologies and smart engineering. Aerodynamically optimized hull and superstructure significantly reduce wind resistance, while the integration of a wind-assisted propulsion system further enhances fuel efficiency. Most notably, the cargo tanks are constructed using F460 TMCP toughcore steel from voestalpine Grobblech GmbH , pushing the boundaries of size, strength, and sustainability.
