MEDITERRANEAN Shipping Co (MSC), the world's largest container line, has earmarked a big ship to be installed with a Chinese-fabricated carbon capture and utilization system (CCUS).
Alphaliner has tipped the 23,756 TEU msc Mia as the ship likely for the installation when it goes in for dry docking in a year's time, reports Singapore's Splash 247.
The technology is being provided by Zhejiang Energy Marine Environmental Technology (ZEME), which claims its system is expected to capture around 40 per cent of carbon emissions from the ship's exhaust. ZEME claims that a US$9 million investment in one of its systems will take five years to recover, based on a carbon price of $100 per tonne.
'Smaller-scale carbon capture devices have already been trialled on feeder vessels, but no large container ship has been fitted with such an installation yet,' Alphaliner noted in its latest weekly report.
