Samsung Heavy Industries has won an approval in principle (AIP) from Lloyd`s Register for the conceptual design of a membrane-type storage tank and 160,000-cubic meter carrier to transport liquefied hydrogen, which was developed for the first time in the local shipbuilding industry, the Korean major shipbuilder said on Thursday, hoping its proprietary technology can help the Korean shipbuilding industry reduce their hefty reliance on foreign storage tank technology and contribute to the construction of larger hydrogen carriers.
