Value Maritime (VM) has successfully installed its unique Exhaust Gas Cleaning System (EGCS) and Carbon Capture unit aboard Nexus Victoria, an LR1 product tanker owned by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL). The completion of this installation marks a significant development in CO2 emissions reduction in the shipping industry and demonstrates MOL’s commitment to sustainability.A First in the IndustryVM’s 15MW next-generation EGCS Filtree system can filter sulphur and (ultra)fine particulate matter and can capture 10% of the vessel’s CO2 emissions with potential scalability to 30% if needed. Nexus Victoria, with a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of 75,000, is now the largest vessel to incorporate VM’s SOx scrubber with advanced carbon capture technology and the first-ever LR1 tanker to sail with this system. The installation was completed in Singapore under the supervision of VM’s specialised technical team.“Our first commissioning in Singapore is a milestone for Value Maritime,” said Alican Kilinc, Operations Director at Value Maritime. “We appreciate MOL’s trust in our technology and are excited to support their decarbonisation efforts. Collaborating with one of the world’s leading shipowners drives us to push innovation forward and provide the industry with the most effective emission-reducing solutions.”Shipping it greenMOL has established the “MOL Group Environmental Vision 2.2” as a roadmap to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 and promote the sustainable development of people, society, and the Earth. MOL positions the environmental strategy as one of the main strategies in its management plan, “BLUE ACTION 2035.”“This system represents a crucial step in decarbonising vessels that cannot yet transition to next-generation fuels,” said Hiroyoshi Kubo, Executive Officer – Tanker Unit at MOL. “Together with Value Maritime, we are committed to advancing carbon capture solutions and building a CO2 value chain that contributes to a sustainable, carbon-neutral industry.”How It Works: The Filtree SystemVM’s Filtree system is designed to filter sulphur, CO2 and (ultra)fine particulate matter from the vessel’s exhaust stream. The system’s plug-and-play design includes onboard CO2 capture and storage capabilities, enabling captured CO2 to be offloaded onshore for reuse in greenhouse cultivation, methanol production, and even the food industry.Expanding the Carbon Capture Network Looking ahead, Value Maritime aims to expand its partnerships across Asia and enhance its carbon logistics infrastructure through Value Carbon <a href="http://www.valuecarbon.com/">www.valuecarbon.com</a> its dedicated carbon capture and storage sister company. “End-to-end carbon capture solutions are essential to achieving industry-wide decarbonisation,” said Christiaan Nijst, Co-founder and Director of Value Group. “By integrating maritime carbon capture with onshore utilisation, we’re closing the loop on emissions and creating a more sustainable shipping ecosystem.”
