Value Maritime, together with its partners in the Maritime Efficient & Easy Carbon Capture (ME2CC) project, has secured funding from the Maritime Masterplan 2024 to develop, construct, and demonstrate an innovative modular carbon capture system. The first installation will take place aboard the LNG-powered vessel Samskip Kvitbjorn.

The Samskip Kvitbjorn operates on a fixed route between Rotterdam and Hammerfest along Norway’s west coast, a region known for its environmental sensitivity. By retrofitting the vessel with Value Maritime’s carbon capture (CC) technology, the consortium aims to ensure compliance with stringent low-emission requirements set by the EU and Norwegian authorities.

The ME2CC consortium, led by Value Maritime, includes Samskip Holding, B2B Marine, Fusie Engineers, Devoteq, Brusche Process Technology, Heatmaster, and Yard Energy Group. This collaboration builds on experience gained from the first small-scale CC system installed aboard the Nordica two years ago.
