Post combustion CCS system absorbs CO2 from a vessel’s exhaust gas that is heated to capture CO2 and then liquefied and stored cryogenically onboard.
ERMA FIRST’s CCSLloyd’s Register (LR) has granted Approval in Principle (AiP) to ERMA FIRST for its Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) system. The CCS technology uses amine absorption to capture CO2 emissions, creating a regenerative loop for storage.

Cost reduction, as well as cutting CO2 emissions are the driving forces behind decisions to combine cargo for multiple projects whenever possible. General Electric (GE) turned to BigLift Shipping, part of the Spliethoff Group when looking to optimise its deliveries, reports cargo journal.
Three voyagesIn three voyages, GE combined cargoes for three wind farm projects in the Netherlands, deploying its vessel Pauwgracht on two occasions and its sister vessel Plotersgracht...
Starcrest Consulting Study Finds Opting for US West Coast Ports Cuts More Greenhouse Gas Emissions Than East or Gulf Coast Alternatives for Asian Cargo Routes.
Regulatory ImpactAccording to the study, cargo movement from Asia through the US West Coast ports, specifically Long Beach and Los Angeles ports, offers the shortest route between the regions. The proximity of the West Coast ports to Asia allows for shorter transit times, which means less fuel consumption and lower emissions...
