TMC’s scope of supply is to provide instrument and service air compressors to each of the four LNG newbuildings. The compressors are energy efficient, single stage, oil-lubricated marine screw compressor that are designed and manufactured for continuous operation in high ambient temperatures.
TMC has not disclosed the value of the contract.
“We have historically delivered a number of similar marine compressed air systems to both SHI and TMS Cardiff Gas. As our compressed air systems are designed to keep operating expenditure to a minimum, and is designed solely for marine and offshore applications, we have become a favoured supplier in the LNG segment,” said Hans-Petter Tanum, TMC’s director of sales and business development.
Each vessel will have a storage capacity of 174 000 m3. According to media reports, the vessels are expected to be delivered in late 2028.
