Description
Description | Kawasaki Heavy Industries has designed the largest liquefied hydrogen transport vessel in the world, approved by the Japanese classification society NK. The vessel has a capacity of 160,000 cubic meters, divided into four spherical tanks of 40,000 cubic meters each, and follows IMO provisional recommendations for hydrogen transport. It features a self-supporting design to handle thermal contraction and a high-performance thermal insulation system to reduce boil-off gas, which is used as fuel for propulsion. |
