Greece’s Capital Gas Ship Management Corp has returned to Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea for two more liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2) carriers.
The Ulsan-based yard said the Evangelos Marinakis-led company had signed up for a pair of 22,000 cu m ammonia and LNG-ready units, with delivery expected in July and November 2026.
Capital Gas ordered the first two ships in July last year, paying about $141.5m, while the latest duo came at $152.5m.
The low-pressure LCO2 carriers, which can also carry LPG and ammonia, are a joint project between Capital, Hyundai Mipo and class society Lloyd’s Register and are so far the largest ships of this type on order.
Find this a bit odd, how can they be low pressure CO2 carriers? The triple point of CO2 won’t allow carriage below 5 bar.
