Newbuilds: Expanding Solvang’s Panamax VLGC fleet

Seven new VLGCs, all settled on long-term charters, will expand Solvang’s Panamax capacity in the LPG segment from delivery in 2026 and 2027. All vessels will boost climate performance as they come ready for onboard carbon capture.

The world’s first onboard carbon capture on voyage

After receiving MNOK 78 in Norwegian government climate fund support, Clipper Eris makes a first launch of full-scale onboard CCS, highlighting Solvang’s pathfinder mission in climate technology for deepsea shipping.

The Carbon Intensity Indicator: Emissions during port idling should be excluded

Reallocating CO2 emission allowances from ships to ports when keeping cargo idle due to handling issues, would help correct the Carbon Intensity Indicator and would make the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEMP III) a better tool for crew, shipowners and climate authorities, according to Solvang HSEQ Manager Per-Øyvind Nedrebø.

Energy sources vs. climate: How to approach fuels

A fuel’s environmental footprint can only be understood if you include the whole life-cycle of production and use of the energy source.

Rules and regulations outlook

Solvang expects that consolidation of data collection and compliance rules will make every vessel a target for IMO emission reduction from 2024.

Highlights 2023: Massive ECO upgrades during dry-dockings

11 vessels were dry-docked due to scheduled classing and certification during 2023. All vessels achieved EEXI certification after installing EPL (engine power limitation), sandblasting and hull anti-fouling treatment, Mewis Ducts installed (9 vessels), as well as full drivetrain optimization on four of the vessels.

Discharges to sea and land

Under normal operation, discharges to the sea are small and we have chosen to consider the following categories:

A long voyage towards discovery

After 12 years of experimentation, research and development, Solvang and our partners present a game changer technology: The shipboard carbon capture system.

The cross-sectoral tradeoff

Given the precarious need for climate change mitigation and a scarce supply of renewable energy sources in the foreseeable future, renewable energy sources should be deployed where the climate effect is highest, which sometimes implies a tradeoff between sectors.

Heavy fuel oil proves fully Tier III-compliant

After three years of testing, shipowner Solvang has received Tier III certificates for their new 21,000 cbm ECO Ethylene carriers. While running on heavy fuel oil, the tankers deliver green transportation, contrary to suspicion.

#Green Shipping

The evolution continues

Solvang´s new class of ethylene carriers was the first HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) fuelled TIR III* compliant ethylene carriers in the world. The vessel specification and detailed design is based on experience with our previous ECO design where we combine cost-efficient means for minimizing the overall fuel consumption.

Making heavy fuel oil clean

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) combined with previous measures reduces NOx emissions from heavy fuel oil by up to 80 % in a typical LPG tanker. The concept is a potential game changer for Norwegian domestic shipping.

Years of evolution has made HFO-fuelled shipping greener

Today´s shipping is much greener than 30 years ago, and this development is likely to continue. We are looking at an evolution, rather than a revolution.
