Wärtsilä: All-Time High Operating Result And Cash ...
1 week ago
HD Hyundai Mipo will conduct Korea’s first liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO₂) refuelling operation for a ship on November 5 with vehicle-mounted tanks.
The project was approved during the 3rd Industrial Convergence Regulatory Sandbox Committee of 2025 by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
The company had applied for exemption to secure testing means for the world’s biggest LCO₂ carrier, which is currently being built.
Per the High-Pressure Gas Safety Management Act, direct LCO₂ charging to ships had not been allowed.
The operation would involve LCO₂ loading from a vehicle-fixed tank to a ship at the shipyard quay, with the help of flexible hoses and a movable manifold developed by HD Hyundai Mipo.
This would improve testing efficiency by replacing the need for ship transfer to a terminal.
The company said that it would comply with demonstration-specific safety standards, established with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Gas Safety Corporation, and has subscribed to a gas accident liability insurance policy covering potential personal and material damages.
The pilot project will commence with Korea’s first and the world’s biggest LCO₂ carrier and expand to four series ships.
The trials will be done for 2 years, with a possible two-year extension if regulations are not revised before the project expires.
HD Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co., Ltd. is a South Korean shipbuilding company based in Ulsan. It specialises in medium-sized commercial vessels, including product carriers, LNG carriers and specialised gas carriers.
