LTi Vessco has secured a major contract to supply carbon capture vessels for a UK decarbonisation project. The deal involves designing and building vessels that will transport captured CO2 for storage or use. This contract supports the UK's net zero targets by enabling the movement of captured carbon from industrial sources to sequestration sites. The project is part of broader efforts to scale up carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure in the UK. While the article does not disclose the exact value or timeline, it highlights LTi Vessco's role in the supply chain for CCS. The company's vessels are expected to play a key part in moving CO2 from emitters to storage locations, a critical step for industrial decarbonisation.

This is a solid sign that CCS infrastructure is moving beyond pilot phase. Vessel contracts mean they are thinking about logistics at scale.

Agreed. But vessel logistics add complexity. You need loading terminals, storage buffers, and scheduling. Hope the project accounts for those costs.

Worth noting the article is from a local business site so details are thin. Would like to see the tonnage capacity and where the CO2 is headed.

Exactly. The press release style leaves out the financials and the end customer. Without those it is hard to judge if this is a real milestone or just PR.

The UK CCS cluster strategy depends on this kind of supply chain buildout. But the policy framework for transport and storage pricing is still evolving. That is the real bottleneck.
