Tamrotor Marine Compressors, the Norway-based equipment supplier, has signed a contract with Hyundai Heavy Industries to supply a complete marine compressed air system to a newbuild floating storage and regasification unit the South Korean yard is building for Norwegian project developer and shipping line Hoegh LNG.

April 10 (LNGJ) - TMC Compressors of Norway was awarded a contract by South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering to supply a compressed air system to a newbuild floating storage and regasification unit (FRSU). TMC’s scope of work includes engineering, manufacturing and supply of a complete compressed air system for the 134,400 cubic metres capacity FRSU, ordered by Singapore-based shipping company BW LNG and due for delivery in 2019. “Any FRSU is a vital component in the LNG value chain,” said Per Kjellin, Managing Director of TMC. “That is why DMSE and BW LNG have opted for compressors that are built especially for marine application, as continuous uptime is crucial for both the on board compressor system and the vessel as a whole,” added Kjellin.

Bureau Veritas, the French classification society, said it reinforced its position in marine services where recent work included liquefied natural gas bunkering ship design, with the acquisition of a leading UK-based consultancy, TMC Marine Ltd.
