TMC lands LNGC compressors contract with Hanwha Ocean

Hanwha Ocean has contracted TMC to provide control, service air and nitrogen feed air compressors to each of the four vessels. TMC has not disclosed the value of the contract.

TMC will manufacture the equipment in Europe and ship it Hanwha Ocean in South Korea.

“The system we deliver is designed to allow the vessel crew to maintain it themselves, which helps keep the vessel operators’ operating costs to a minimum,” said TMC sales and business development director Hans Petter Tanum.

The four LNG carriers will each have the capacity to carry 174,000 m³ of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

“We have delivered the marine compressed air systems to many of Hanwha Ocean’s 174,000-m³ LNG carrier newbuildings in the past,” Mr Tanum said.
