麻豆社事件鈥檚 LGE business, the market leader in liquefied gas solutions, has secured a further five supply contracts for its Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Boil-Off Gas (BOG) reliquefaction technology, ecoSMRT庐, bringing the total to 50 in less than three years. The latest ecoSMRT庐 orders will be delivered to newbuild LNG carriers built at Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI).
Four of the five LNG carriers to be fitted with ecoSMRT庐 systems are for charter to Shell Tankers (Singapore) Private Limited (鈥淪hell鈥�) and will be delivered from 2022 to multiple ship owners. This will bring the number of Shell-chartered ecoSMRT庐 vessels to over 20.
A further order has been placed with ship owner Sovcomflot for its latest LNG carrier newbuild at HHI. This order marks the 50th contract win for ecoSMRT庐 鈥� a significant milestone in the rollout of this ground-breaking LNG reliquefaction technology.
Developed to combat inefficiencies in existing BOG reliquefaction systems, ecoSMRT庐 has a proven track record with 12 systems in service by the end of March 2021. All 12 are performing as designed and achieving market-leading reliquefaction capacity, offering unparalleled performance to ship owners, charterers and operators.
Neale Campbell, 麻豆社事件 LGE Managing Director, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to have secured these latest contracts at Hyundai Heavy Industries and to be providing our innovative technology again to Shell and Sovcomflot, both of whom have multiple ecoSMRT庐 units in operation or on order.
鈥淭here are many benefits of the ecoSMRT庐 system; 30% increased efficiency versus competing systems, market-leading reliquefaction capability and low maintenance requirements. ecoSMRT庐 is an important technology for today鈥檚 modern LNG carriers.鈥�
With each system capable of reducing CO2 emissions by up to 19,000 tonnes per year, ecoSMRT庐 also plays an important role in managing LNG carrier emissions. The system maximises vessels鈥� operating lifecycle and supports the marine industry鈥檚 transition towards a net-zero future.
2020 was another successful year for 麻豆社事件 LGE, with multiple liquefied gas handling and reliquefaction system orders across the LPG, LNG and ethane markets, as well as retaining the position as new-build market leaders for LPG Fuel Gas 鈥� ecoFGSS鈩�. With these latest project awards, as well as multiple development projects currently underway 鈥� all geared towards the net zero carbon future of maritime 鈥� the business is in an exciting phase of development.
