[SINGAPORE] Seatrium announced on Thursday (Jun 19) that it had signed of a letter of intent (LOI) with Solvang, Norway for the installation and retrofitting of full-scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) systems.
The project is expected to commence in late 2026, where Solvang’s new series of very large gas carriers, configured specifically for CCS systems, is set to be the first potential candidate for a full-scale CCS retrofit and integration.
It also further supports Solvang in its fleet decarbonisation, following the successful delivery of Clipper Eris in February – the world’s first full-scale turnkey retrofit of a 7 megawatt CCS system. The Clipper Eris project saw Seatrium provided turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction solutions for the CCS package.
The LOI was formalised during international trade fair Nor-Shipping 2025 in Oslo, Norway in June, as the companies continue to strive towards sustainable maritime solutions.
The landmark project is also a highlight of the decade-long partnership between Seatrium and Solvang.
Alvin Gan, executive vice-president of repairs and upgrades, Seatrium, said: “Building on the success of the pioneer project together on Clipper Eris… This step will deepen our resolve as strategic partners in supporting maritime decarbonisation efforts.”
