Gunvor Group Ltd and Solvang ASA have formed a joint venture to own and operate five next generation eco-vessels for the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) market.

We’re happy to announce that the Norwegian State, through Enova, has approved sponsoring Solvang’s CCS project, making it possible to transfer the project from onshore testing to full-scale shipboard installation on the ethylene carrier Clipper Eris.

We are pleased to present our annual report for 2022, with an integrated comprehensive ESG report.

Solvang is the second of the five finalists in “Enterprise of the year- 2022” in Rogaland. According to the jury, Solvang has made an impressive journey over more than eighty years.

Solvang´s full-scale testing of carbon capture and storage (CCS) could be a game changer in the struggle to decarbonize global freight and reach the 1.5 degrees climate goal.

As a pioneer in international shipping, Solvang signs a LOI with Wärtsilä to test full-scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) for maritime use. The long-term aim is to achieve a zero-emission deep-sea fleet.

Solvang’s new web pages are updated to accommodate content related to sustainability and green shipping in addition to information about vessels, cargo and operations.

Sustainability is central in Solvang´s annual report for 2020. This marks the first year Solvang publishes a comprehensive ESG report, documenting efforts and results in the environmental, social and governance sectors, based on the Global Reporting Initiative GRI.

We are very pleased to announce the delivery of Clipper Wilma on October 31st 2019 from Hyundai Heavy Industries.

We are very pleased to announce the delivery of Clipper Eris on September 18th 2019 from Hyundai Mipo Dockyard.

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.

Our new class of ethylene carriers are the first HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) fuelled TIER 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-effective means for minimizing the overall fuel consumption.
