Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) is collaborating with HD Korean Shipbuilding and Offshore Engineering (KSOE), Hyundai Glovis, and Australia's Woodside Energy on a project to design and construct the world's first large-scale dedicated hydrogen carrier. This initiative aims to facilitate the bulk marine transportation of liquid hydrogen, which is more space-efficient than its gaseous form, requiring temperatures of -253 degrees C to maintain its liquid state. Initiated in 2022, the project focuses on the Asian supply chain and aims to operationalize an 80,000 cbm tank capacity vessel by 2030. KSOE has made progress in designing a large-capacity hydrogen carrier, receiving Approval in Principle from Det Norske Veritas (DNV) in September 2023. The partnership involves developing technology, assessing safety, and evaluating the economics of hydrogen transport. KSOE will design and build the carriers, Woodside will concentrate on hydrogen production and port operations, while MOL and Hyundai Glovis will contribute to vessel design and logistics, aiming to establish a comprehensive hydrogen supply chain.
