Decarbonisation targets are pushing many CO2 emitters to reduce their emissions. For some, CCUS is the most viable option. However, not all emitters are located close to large pipeline infrastructure, and many are new to the shipping industry. As a result, there has been a strong need to share knowledge on how CO₂ can be transported by ship, from existing commercial shipping precedents and logistics across the entire CCUS chain to technical areas such as ship design, impurity control, and pressure management.  

Navigator Gas has been able to propose a range of commercial and technical solutions to CO2 emitters in various development phases. This includes temperature and pressure, vessel optimization, intermediate floating or onshore storage, as well as in-depth economics to maximize value for money. With a large presence in the shipping industry, Navigator Gas benefits from access to worldwide shipyards for the construction of liquified CO2 carriers. Navigator Gas’s aim is to emphasise safety and reliability while providing flexible liquefied CO2 carriage and commercial and technical expertise.  

Navigator Gas plays an active role in developing the liquefied CO2 shipping industry and has engaged in a large range of projects, including a feasibility study for Uniper Grain CCGT on the Isle of Grain, Kent through its joint venture Bluestreak CO2.  

Currently Navigator Gas has 15 different liquefied CO2 designs in the capacity range of 7,500 m³ to 56,000 m³ low- and midpressure available for CCUS upstream or downstream customers.
