The Danish marine pumps specialist has been awarded a contract to supply pump systems for two CO2 carriers that will transport liquid CO2 to the Northern Lights storage facilities in Norway.
Operations are scheduled to start in 2024. The first two CO2 carriers are now being built for this purpose, with Danish supplier Svanehøj chosen as the supplier of the pump systems that will handle the liquid CO2.
Svanehøj has entered 2022 with a new strategy entitled “Powering a better future” and a target of doubling its turnover to DKK 1 billion (approx. $143 million) by the end of 2026.
Svanehøj will deliver two deepwell cargo pumps of 15 metres for each ship. In this project, Svanehøj’s multigas technology will be shown to its full potential, as the customer wants the pumps to also be used for handling LPG natural gas. Over the years, Svanehøj has supplied cargo pump systems to more than 1,100 LPG tankers around the world.
