Nord Gas Solutions has once again been chosen by Samsung Heavy Industries to provide the cargo handling and fuel gas supply system for two more Very Large Ethane Gas Carriers being constructed at their South Korean shipyard. These vessels are for an existing Asian joint venture. The latest order adds to an earlier contract for five such carriers, further cementing the strong relationship between Nord Gas Solutions, SHI, and MOL.
This repeat selection highlights the proven effectiveness and dependability of Nord Gas Solutions' technology for ethane carriers. The company's contract includes the design of the cargo handling and fuel gas supply system's process plant and related subsystems, along with all necessary equipment, instrumentation, and the cargo control system.
Nord Gas Solutions' experts will assist the shipyard during construction and commissioning. "The award of these additional vessels is a strong vote of confidence from SHI," said Harald Øverland, Nord Gas Solutions' Sale Manager. The delivery of Nord Gas Solutions' equipment is set to begin in the second quarter of 2027. Nord Gas Solutions is the new name of the company after Wärtsilä Gas Solutions was acquired by Mutares SE & Co in June 2026.
