Svanehøj's multifuel cargo pumps will increasingly handle ammonia on LPG carriers. The transition towards PtX is underway, according to the company's release.
Shipowners are busy preparing for a future with carbon-neutral fuels. It significantly impacts Svanehøj's order book, where the share of LPG tankers with ammonia (NH3) on the cargo list is growing.
In 2019, 25% of all Svanehøj's cargo pumps for LPG tankers were prepared for handling ammonia. In 2024, ammonia-ready cargo pumps will make up almost two-thirds of all scheduled tanker orders.
One of Svanehøj's upcoming LPG/ammonia projects is an order from LGE, where Svanehøj will supply ammonia-ready cargo pumps for five VLGCs, which will be built at Hyundai Heavy Industries. The contract includes a total of 40 cargo pumps and 10 booster pumps.
