Innovation is at the heart of Anthony Veder, from the design of our vessels to our tailor-made logistics solutions. We see our role as being more than offering vessels for gas transportation. Anthony Veder aims to provide customers with optimal solutions that involve the whole distribution chain. Anthony Veder works closely with its customers to optimise their trades and to improve the economics by the use of innovation.

Here are just a few ways we have assisted our customers:

Development of the Ice Class vessels

For many years Anthony Veder has been operating in the Baltic region and this includes shipping during the winter months. In answer to the increasing requirements of two customers in the Baltic and the need for a guaranteed supply during winter, new ice class 1A gas tankers were developed in close cooperation with these customers. Finally, three vessels were built with ice class 1A, the Coral Lophelia, Coral Nettuno and Coral Leaf. Anthony Veder is now the only operator of modern ice class vessels dedicated to the Baltic region.

A highly-innovative and unique combined LNG/LPG/Ethylene vessel

Anthony Veder was awarded a tender to build a small LNG carrier for a Norwegian customer in 2006. Anthony Veder won the tender because it offered an innovative concept and the idea to build a combined LNG/LPG/Ethylene carrier. This concept meant that a larger vessel could be built, allowing the customer to "grow into the vessel" as their LNG trade increases over the years to come. When the vessel, the Coral Methane, is not used for LNG transportation, it is operated by Anthony Veder in other trades such as in the LPG and petrochemical gas sectors. This avoids any waiting days and improves the economics of the LNG trade substantially.

Anthony Veder's CO2 shipping concepts and first-ever dedicated CO2 vessel

In 1997, Anthony Veder was approached by a customer with a view to developing an economic means of transporting CO2 by sea within North West Europe, including the Baltic region. In this particular case, the CO2 is for the food industry and the vessel is therefore, certified according to HACCP. By developing an optimal size and cost effective design, the first-ever dedicated newbuild CO2 carrier was built and delivered in 1999.

Our experience in transporting CO2 by sea and our 10-year, proven, faultless track record gives us a competitive advantage for the various Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) projects in the market. Anthony Veder is actively pursuing opportunities in the CCS sector. We have built up the know-how to handle and to transport this product and we use this knowledge in CCS projects, where the captured CO2 is liquefied and transported by vessel to (offshore) underground storage facilities.

Anthony Veder has also developed a full concept from the liquefaction of CO2, to storage, shipping and offshore discharge at the required pressure into offshore fields.
