Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd (Kawasaki), Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., and Japan Marine United Corporation are due to commence a joint study to establish a construction scheme for liquefied hydrogen carriers.
This study examines the feasibility of a collaborative construction scheme that efficiently utilises their respective resources, such as facilities and human resources, for the construction of liquefied hydrogen carriers following the first commercial carrier to be designed and built by Kawasaki.
Liquefied hydrogen carriers are expected to play an essential role in the establishment of a liquefied hydrogen supply chain by enabling the transport of large volumes of hydrogen.
This study will reinforce the cooperative relationship between each company for the commercialisation of a liquefied hydrogen supply chain who will work toward the realisation of a carbon-neutral society.
