In 2024, Solvang completed the installation of wet electrostatic precipitators (WESPs) on five vessels; Clipper Eris, Clipper Eirene, Clipper Enyo, Clipper Eos, and Clipper Wilma.
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.
Solvang develops research-based maritime solutions with our partners. Every new sample of knowledge we share publicly to promote sustainable shipping. Solvang’s Fleet Director Tor Øyvind Ask offers and account of which measures really make a difference in deep-sea green technology.
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.
SEAMANSHIP: Solvang’s 2023 Energy Efficiency Award pits more than 20 crews against eachother in terms of cunning energy savings. The winner was exceptional.
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.
After 12 years of experimentation, research and development, Solvang and partners present a game changing technology: The shipboard carbon capture system.

After solving emissions of sulfur and nitrous oxides, shipping still needs to cut CO2 more than existing methods and fuels allow for. The time has arrived for a radical solution.
Since 2010, Solvang has pursued an innovation path to bring heavy fuel oil (HFO) operation into compliance with the strictest NOx emission control. The climate gain is significant.
