LR approves Hyundai yards’ multi-gas carrier design
Special steel used for the tanks will enable lighter construction while maintaining structural integrity, enabling a larger-size vessel that can carry multiple gases
The new design will be capable of carrying liquefied carbon dioxide, liquid petroleum gas, ammonia and vinyl chloride monomer and incorporates a new type of steel in its Type C tanks, which supports greater efficiency in the carbon capture. These features should interest owners looking for versatility in their vessels’ cargo capacity
