เกจวัดถังแก๊ส Svanehøj expects to submit an all-time high order intake of DKK750 million–DKK800 million for 2021, up 50% on the company’s previous record set in 2014.
2021 has been a report 12 months for Svanehøj.
Svanehøj’s patented DW gasoline pump answer is certainly one of the main progress drivers. The pump was introduced to the market in 2015 and will account for almost 30% of total orders in 2021.
CEO Søren Kringelholt Nielsen said the company’s gas pump gross sales quadrupled on 2020, with new orders unfold widely throughout sectors.
“We see a significant improve in orders of gas pump techniques for LNG-fuelled boxships, cruise ships and PCTC vessels. Furthermore, we have received a really massive variety of orders for LPG carriers, where we provide pump methods for each cargo and fuel,” stated Kringelholt Nielsen.
During 2021, Svanehøj secured two significant orders from Samsung Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering for LNG fuel pump systems for 22 Ultra Large Container Vessels. And just lately, Svanehøj signed an agreement with a Japanese FGSS provider on fuel pumps for six LNG-fuelled Pure Care and Truck Carriers.
“We see clear indications that many of the ships to be constructed within the coming years might be built to run on LNG. Therefore, we anticipate additional progress on this segment,” said Kringelholt Nielsen.
“At the same time, a marketplace for new gas types will emerge, pushed by the large-scale investments in Power-to-X. We have already taken this into account with our gasoline pump, which is totally suitable with e-fuels similar to green ammonia and methanol. In this way, we handle shipowners’ uncertainty with a future-proof pump resolution. Regardless of the propellant,” mentioned Kringelholt Nielsen.
