In a development that validates large-scale liquid hydrogen tank technology for shipping, HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE) has received approval in principle (AIP) from ABS for a tank design that enables large-scale hydrogen transportation and storage.
ABS completed design reviews based on class and statutory requirements.
“Hydrogen is a key enabler for decarbonization, playing critical roles as fuel, feedstock, energy storage and load balancing,” said Patrick Ryan, ABS senior vice president and CTO. “As demand grows, shipping will need advanced systems to support large-scale liquid hydrogen storage and transportation. This is an exciting milestone for HD KSOE, and ABS is proud to support such innovative technologies.”
The vacuum insulation system from HD KSOE is designed to reduce the time required to create a vacuum in large tanks, essential for transportation. The new technology allows maintaining a vacuum state at –253℃, which, KSOE says, enables safer and loss-free transport of large quantities of liquid hydrogen.
