MODEC has received Approval in Principle from the American Bureau of Shipping for its Floating Storage and Injection Unit (FSIU), designed to handle liquid CO₂ at sea. The unit can receive, store, and inject up to 10 million tonnes of CO₂ annually into subsea reservoirs, eliminating the need for onshore storage and pipelines.
Babcock’s LGE business has secured Approval in Principle from Lloyd’s Register for its ecoCPTR® onboard carbon capture system. The technology combines Aqualung’s facilitated transport membrane capture with Babcock’s ecoCO2® system, offering a compact, modular solution for both new and retrofitted vessels.
John Crane, a global leader in rotating equipment solutions, and a business of Smiths Group plc, is proud to support one of the UK’s most significant carbon capture and storage initiatives with the supply of advanced dry gas sealing technology for high-performance CO₂ compression.
Seabound, a UK-based leader in marine carbon capture, has launched a first-of-its-kind onboard carbon capture project in partnership with Hartmann Group ("Hartmann"), InterMaritime Group ("InterMaritime"), and Heidelberg Materials Northern Europe. The captured carbon, bound in limestone and safely stored onboard, will be offloaded at the Port of Brevik, Norway, for use at Heidelberg Materials’ Brevik cement plant.
The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation has successfully completed the world’s first maritime pilot demonstrating the full value chain of onboard captured carbon dioxide in China on 25 June 2025. This cross-sectoral demonstration highlights how captured CO2 from ships can be repurposed for industrial applications, linking maritime decarbonisation efforts with broader land-based carbon ecosystem.
