Damen and ABC Sign Framework Agreement to Drive Sustainable Shipping Initiatives
The framework agreement between Damen and Anglo Belgian Corporation (ABC) marks a significant step in the growing cooperation between the two countries in the field of greening the shipping industry. Following the Combi Freighters (CF) and the CSOV vessels, this agreement facilitates future expansions of Damen-ABC engine installations to other ship types. The agreement was signed during the second edition of the Climate Tech Forum in Antwerp, following the Economic Mission on Climate Technology to Belgium.
In recent months, ABC has frequently been in the news with innovations that enable the transition from fossil fuels to alternative fuels such as hydrogen and methanol. ABC develops, manufactures, exports, and maintains medium-speed engines ranging from 1 to 11 MW from Ghent.
