Svanehøj has been supplying cargo pump techniques for CO2 carriers for the reason that late Nineties.
“Thanks to our experience from the relatively few CO2 ships built thus far, we’re part of the dialogue on several of the upcoming CCS (carbon seize & Storage) tasks. CCS is a focus space in our business strategy, and the order from TGE for Northern Lights is therefore of great strategic significance. This might be an enormous marketplace for us throughout the next few years,” addedsaid Uhrenholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj started 2022 with a new “Powering a greater future” strategy and a goal of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (approximately US$143 million) by the top of 2026.
