Deltamarin, Ecolog partner on wind-assisted LCO2 carrier design

Deltamarin said the design has been readied “for the purpose of tendering at shipyards worldwide.” 

Peter Livanos-controlled EcoLog is involved in developing midstream carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) projects aiming for a start-up in late 2028.

EcoLog is a sister company to GasLog and DryLog, and is looking to build dozens of LNG carriers and develop a connected network of port terminals to move CO2 for permanent sequestering.

Speaking to Riviera Maritime Media, company executive Jasper Heikens estimated EcoLog will have assets in place to move 5M tonnes of CO2 in the coming years scaling to 50M tonnes by 2035. The company is initially looking at terminals of 5 mta and then doubling that to 10 mta.

EcoLog has since been awarded an industry-first ISM document of compliance from class society ABS, for the operation of LCO2 carriers on behalf of the Bermuda flag administration.

The wind-assisted, liquefied CO2 carrier design developed with Deltamarin is intra-EU, short range, low pressure and shallow draft.
