The Samskip Kvitbjorn, a Norwegian-flagged LNG-fueled RO/RO carrier, is to be retrofitted with an onboard carbon capture system, with the help of funding from the Netherlands Government’s Maritime Master Plan.
The funding, awarded Rotterdam-headquartered Value Maritime and its partners in the Maritime Efficient & Easy Carbon Capture (ME2CC) consortium, will contribute to the development, construction and demonstration of a first-in-kind compact, modular carbon capture system on board the vessel.
