Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Imabari Shipbuilding, and Japan Marine United Corporation have announced a collaboration to explore a new construction scheme for liquefied hydrogen carriers. This joint study aims to leverage the strengths of each company, including advanced facilities and skilled workforces, to support the development of future hydrogen transport vessels. The initiative is seen as a crucial step in Japan's transition towards a carbon-neutral future, as hydrogen carriers are considered essential infrastructure for enabling mass transport of hydrogen. Building on Kawasaki's experience with the Suiso Frontier, the world's first commercial liquefied hydrogen carrier, capable of transporting hydrogen at cryogenic temperatures, this project focuses on establishing scalable models for hydrogen carrier construction. The collaboration between these shipbuilders not only aims to drive advancements in hydrogen transportation technology but also to strengthen their partnership and support the broader hydrogen supply chain. This joint effort signifies a positive step towards sustainable energy solutions and demonstrates the commitment of Japanese industries to foster innovation in the field of hydrogen transport.
