On May 14 at 11.25 local time, you can witness the christening and name giving ceremony followed by the launch of the first European built dedicated EasyMax CO2 carrier on the live stream below! This vessel will play a vital role in advancing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) initiatives in the EU. 

A significant step towards advancing CCS within the European Union

This project stems from a landmark multi-year agreement between INEOS and Royal Wagenborg. The vessel, based on Wagenborg’s award-winning EasyMax design, is being constructed by Royal Niestern Sander and represents a significant step towards advancing CCS within the European Union.

The agreement between Royal Wagenborg and INEOS is a very important step towards the establishment of the full value chain of CCS on an industrial scale.
