- GEV is pleased to advise the American Bureau of Shipping has issued its Approval in Principle for the C-H2 Ship containment system.
- It is based on a cargo capacity of 2,000 tonnes of hydrogen.
- The hydrogen containment system (patent pending) is the most critical component of the Company’s C-H2 Ship.
A recent news article published in the GEV reveals that GEV receives approval in principle for its C-H2 ship containment system.
Highlights
- GEV has received Approval in Principle (AIP) from American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for its C-H2 Ship containment system, based on a cargo capacity of 2,000 tonnes of hydrogen.
• The engineering review undertaken by ABS confirmed that the C-H2 Ship can meet the high standards of safety required by shipping classification societies.
• Extensive HAZID scenarios were also assessed with ABS concluding “That there were no unresolvable or unmitigable risks identified during the HAZID that would prevent further successful development of the compressed hydrogen ship design”.
• GEV can now confidently progress through to final detailed engineering design and testing to obtain Full Class Approval for the construction of the C-H2 Ship.
• Commercial and technical discussions for the development of GEV’S C-H2 supply chain are being advanced via:
– Partnerships with renewable energy projects targeting hydrogen export; and
– Development of GEV’s own pilot scale renewable energy project for the export of hydrogen.
