Leading the Way! Headway’s Carbon Capture Technology Makes a Big Splash at SMM

On 6th Sep, the 30th Hamburg International Maritime Trade Fair (SMM 2022), the largest exhibition in the shipping industry, returned offline after two years and attracted approximately 2,000 exhibitors and 40,000 visitors from more than 100 countries all over the world. As one of the leading marine equipment manufacturers, Headway participated in SMM 2022 with OceadGuard® Fuel Gas Supply System (FGSS), Carbon Capture Storage and Utilization System (CCSU), Ballast Water Management System(BWMS) and Exhaust Gas Cleaning System(EGCS), etc. Especially, carbon capture and utilization technology, as cutting-edge technology in this event, drew a lot of visitors’ attention to communicate with Headway.

The Hamburg International Maritime Trade Fair, dating back to 1963, is the largest, most professional and influential trade fair in the shipping industry. The SMM 2020 could have gone on in Sep. 2020 and had to be postponed to Feb. 2021 which was held online because of COVID-19. Encouragingly, the 30^th SMM has been held face to face again and its exhibitors, spreading to 11 exhibition halls, covering the entire industrial supply chain. The SMM 2022 focuses on current hot topics of many people in the shipping industry, such as marine fuel transformation, digitalization of shipping, climate change, etc.

At the SMM 2022, Headway’s flagship products, OceanGuard^® BWMS and EGCS continued to draw the attention of visitors. In addition, Headway also presented marine fuel supply systems which pprovides LNG, LPG and Methanol fuel solutions and have obtained certificates from international major classification societies. Furthermore, high-pressure/low-pressure systems have received orders and obtained high recognition from clients after the delivery of some projects. 

It is remarkable that the OceanGuard® CCSU, independently developed and researched by Headway, hit its debut at the international industrial exhibition as Headway’s latest product. The system adopts the state-of-the-art decarbonization technology to efficiently achieve capturing and store CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) produced by the engines onboard and that will endow the accomplishment of zero-carbon with great significance. The system featured many advantages, such as high efficiency in carbon capture, compact design, low power consumption, high convenience in storage and transportation, and so on, with AiP certificates from major classification societies. On SMM, many representatives from shipowners and shipyards did deep communications to express high interest in promoting further cooperation with Headway.

Headway will continue to strengthen its global service system and carry out close cooperation with global partners to further speed up its global strategic layout and contribute to green, intelligent, sustainable global shipping with high-quality products and round-the-clock local technical services.
