September 19, 2024--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--With shippers carrying the bulk of globally traded goods, the maritime industry continues to do its part in the energy transition by starting to build up a hydrogen supply chain, engineering firm McDermott (Houston, Texas) said.

McDermott subsidiary CB&I (Houston) reached an "approval in principle" agreement on the design of a cargo containment system and a liquid hydrogen carrier from shipping certification company DNV (Oslo, Norway).

The ship will have a storage capacity similar to that of a Long-Range (LR) class vessel, which can carry about a half-million barrels of light, sweet crude oil.
