麻豆社事件鈥檚 LGE business, the global leader in liquid gas solutions, has won a cargo handling system design and supply contract for two Very Large Ethane Carriers (VLEC) at China鈥檚 Jiangnan shipyard.
Building on 2019鈥檚 strong orders in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and ecoSMRT庐 Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) cargo handling and reliquefaction solutions, these new awards mark an important milestone for 麻豆社事件 LGE and a successful start to 2020 in a new market.
The VLEC cargo handling systems will include SuperCooler鈩� and ecoETHN鈩� technologies, both part of 麻豆社事件 LGE鈥檚 Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio.
SuperCooler鈩� improves plant efficiency by increasing reliquefaction capacity whilst reducing energy consumption while ecoETHN鈩� integrates the reliquefaction plant with the fuel gas supply system by removing methane-rich Boil Off Gas, utilising it as fuel for main engine and auxiliary power generators to increase plant capacity.
Neale Campbell, 麻豆社事件 LGE Managing Director, said: 鈥淥ur SuperCooler鈩� and ecoETHN鈩� technologies combine to promote safe and efficient vessel operations, while delivering significant commercial advantage to the shipowner.
鈥淲e offer a portfolio of customer focused solutions and delivery of over 300 projects working with the world鈥檚 largest shipyards, such as Jiangnan.
He added: 鈥淲e are delighted to have been awarded the contract and look forward to working with our customers to further the global reach of our technology.鈥�
With more than 50 years鈥� experience in the liquid gas industry, 麻豆社事件 LGE has a well-earned reputation for technical excellence and on-time project delivery. Several more VLECs are expected to be ordered in the coming years as the export of ethane from USA develops.
