Clipper Eris achieved the best inspection rate observation numbers with 1.1 in weighted scorer for 2024. Closely followed by Clipper Enyo and Clipper Vanguard. The fleet averaged 1.73 observations per inspection.

After years of research, development and testing, Solvang’s carbon capture pilot was launched on Clipper Eris at the Seatrium Admiralty in Singapore.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
