Following the recent announcement of four new CO₂ transport vessels, Northern Lights this week hosted representatives from Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd. (“K” LINE), MISC Berhad and Dalian Shipbuilding Offshore Co., Ltd., in Øygarden for a formal signing ceremony.
The ceremony marked the long-term charter agreement awarded to the consortium of “K” LINE and MISC, further expanding Northern Lights’ dedicated CO₂ shipping fleet. The agreement was signed by Tim Heijn, Managing Director of Northern Lights, together with Mr. Kanamori from “K” LINE and Mr. Zahid from MISC. The new vessel, with a cargo capacity of 12,000 m³, will support cross-border transport of CO₂ from commercial customers in Europe and are to be delivered for start-up of charter services to Northern Lights in the period from second half of 2028 to first half of 2029. A second vessel will be awarded to the same consortium in April 2026.
