Seatrium Limited has announced a significant partnership with Solvang ASA, a Norwegian shipping company, to install and retrofit full-scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) systems on Solvang’s fleet. The agreement was formalised during the Nor-Shipping 2025 event in Oslo, marking a pivotal step in both companies’ commitment to sustainable maritime solutions.
This collaboration builds on the successful delivery of the Clipper Eris in February 2025, the world’s first full-scale retrofit of a 7MW CCS system, which Seatrium executed with turnkey Engineering, Procurement, and Construction solutions. Solvang’s new series of Very Large Gas Carriers, specifically configured for CCS, will be the first candidates for this retrofit, with project commencement expected in late 2026.
Alvin Gan, Executive Vice President of Seatrium Repairs and Upgrades, expressed the company’s dedication to advancing sustainable maritime solutions, stating, “This partnership demonstrates our commitment to advance sustainable solutions in the maritime decarbonisation journey.” Tor Ask, Fleet Director of Solvang ASA, added, “Seatrium’s proven capabilities, demonstrated by the Clipper Eris retrofit, give us full confidence that this collaboration will bring tremendous value.”
Seatrium has a strong track record in providing green technologies for the maritime industry, having delivered over 584 sustainability-linked solutions since 2015. This partnership further strengthens the decade-long relationship between Seatrium and Solvang ASA, highlighting their shared vision for a lower-carbon future.
