Japan-based classification society ClassNK has issued an Approval in Principle to Kawasaki Heavy Industries for the design of a cargo containment system for the world’s largest liquefied hydrogen carrier.
Hydrogen has been identified as one of the leading fuels in the drive to decarbonize. In 2017, ClassNK published the “Guidelines for Liquefied Hydrogen Carriers” describing the safety requirements for liquified hydrogen carriers based on IMO’s Interim Recommendations for Carriage of Liquefied Hydrogen in Bulk. ClassNK also provided class services for the SUISO FRONTIER, the world’s first liquified hydrogen carrier developed, in part, by Kawasaki Heavy Industries with a carrying capacity of 1,250 cubic meters.
