Fuel pump order for 15 LNG dual-fuel container vessels

Svanehøj has just secured an order for fuel pump systems for 15 dual-fuel LNG container vessels (7,000 TEU), which are to be built at Jiangsu New Yangzi Shipbuilding. A total of 30 deepwell fuel pumps will be delivered from August 2022 to January 2024.

The order is among Svanehøj's largest relating to LNG fuel to date. It is the second time within the last year that this customer has chosen Svanehøj as the supplier of LNG fuel pump systems. In July 2021, they signed a contract for deepwell pumps for 10 dual-fuel LNG container vessels (15,000 TEU).

“Until a few years ago, the use of LNG as a marine fuel was limited to LNG carriers and smaller ships. But we are now seeing a sharp increase in fuel pump orders for deep-sea vessels such as container ships and car carriers. We were chosen as the supplier of fuel pump systems for over 50% of the dual-fuel LNG container vessels ordered globally in 2020-21. And we aim to increase our market share further in the coming years”, says Johnny Houmann, Chief Sales Officer, Svanehøj.

Orders for dual-fuel LNG vessels broke all records in 2021 with a total of 240 ships globally. That is more than the previous four years combined. And growth looks set to continue unabated in 2022. According to data from the classification society DNV, orders for 56 dual-fuel LNG vessels have been placed in January and February.
