First Evergreen CCS retrofit

The vessel is the world’s first Neopanamax container vessel to be retrofitted with a CCS system. The CCS system, designed and developed by Shanghai Marine Diesel Engine Research Institute (SMDERI), were installed at Huarun Dadong Dockyard Co., Ltd. (HRDD).

ClassNK reviewed the system components and the installation plan, aligning with its comprehensive “Guidelines for Shipboard CO2 Capture and Storage Systems.” The risk assessment through Hazard Identification (HAZID) and the onsite installation process were also examined.

The retrofit installation of SMDERI’s amine-based CCS system on board the EVER TOP extends the history of cooperation between SMDERI and MAN Energy Solutions in CCS applications. EVER TOP is equipped with a MAN B&W 11S90ME-C9 main mover.

The Motorship previously reported that SMDERI had received a first order for an onboard CCS system in connection with an order for 12 x 82,000 dwt Kamsarmax vessels at Jiangsu New Hantong Ship Heavy Industry in April 2024. The Kamsarmax vessels have been specified with MAN B&W 6G50ME-C9.6 main movers.
