Royal Wagenborg’s Carbon Destroyer 1, described by the company as Europe’s first offshore CO₂ carrier, has arrived in Port Esbjerg after departing Delfzijl and completing multiple sea trials in the North Sea.

The vessel’s arrival marks a new stage for Project Greensand and for the offshore transport and storage of CO₂. The project is associated with Greensand Future and INEOS Energy, and the call at Esbjerg represents a step forward for the next phase of the work.

According to the company, the arrival of Carbon Destroyer 1 is more than a routine port call. It is presented as an important development for offshore CO₂ transport and storage and as a notable moment for the teams involved in the project.

The vessel’s safe arrival in Esbjerg follows sea trials in the North Sea and brings Carbon Destroyer 1 to the next chapter in its journey. The development also aligns with the wider push linked to Europe’s energy transition, as described in the company statement.
