Successful and safe transport of aft ship for first dedicated European built offshore CO₂ carrier

This project stems from a landmark multi-year agreement between INEOS and Royal Wagenborg, formalized in November 2024 in the presence of HM King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and HM King Frederik of Denmark. The vessel, based on Wagenborg’s award-winning EasyMax design, is being constructed by Royal Niestern Sander and represents a significant step towards advancing CCS within the European Union.

The EasyMax CO₂ carrier is designed to meet the highest standards of safety and efficiency, facilitating large-scale transport of CO₂ to the Greensand storage site in the Danish North Sea. This site is managed by INEOS in partnership with Harbour Energy and Nordsøfonden.

The aft ship, which houses the main engine and other essential systems, was carefully transported by means of Self Propelled Modular Trailers (SPMTs) to the quay side. This operation required precise coordination and expertise, highlighting Wagenborg’s extensive experience in heavy transport and shipbuilding logistics.

With the aft ship now in place, the next construction phases will involve integrating key components and preparing for the vessel's upcoming launch mid May. This progress brings us closer to delivering a ship that will set new standards in the maritime industry.

Stay tuned for further updates as we continue building this pioneering vessel, contributing to a more sustainable future for shipping and beyond.
