ON DEMAND - As liquid hydrogen (LH2) emerges as a leading option for long-distance hydrogen transport, the industry is moving beyond demonstration projects toward commercial-scale carriers. Publicly announced vessel designs approaching 40 000 m³ signal a step change in capacity, and with it, a step change in machinery requirements.
At these scales, boil-off gas (BOG) is no longer a marginal loss. It becomes a continuous process stream that directly shapes vessel design, onboard systems, and overall transport efficiency.
This webinar examines LH2 transport from a machinery perspective, focusing on the critical role of BOG compression. It will explore how increasing vessel size drives higher volumetric flow, more demanding duty cycles, and new reliability expectations for rotating equipment in marine environments.
The session also connects upstream liquefaction decisions to downstream BOG behaviour, highlighting how the full value chain influences compression system design.
