On August 30, 2023, Hanwha Ocean announced its choice of TMC Compressors, a company based in Norway, to supply the entire compressed air system for six LNG carriers that the Korean shipbuilder will be constructing for Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL).
Hanwha Ocean
Hanwha Ocean formerly Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering has selected TMC to provide control, service air and nitrogen feed air compressors to each of the six vessels. TMC has not disclosed the value of the contract.
The six LNG carriers will each have a capacity of 174,000 cubic meters LNG.
“We are highly familiar with both the vessel type and the shipbuilder, and Hanwha Ocean knows us and our technology equally well. We are delighted to once again be given the opportunity to supply our energy-efficient compressors to them,” says Hans Petter Tanum, TMC’s director of sales and business development.
Compressed Air Systems
TMC will manufacture the equipment in Europe and ship it Hanwha Ocean in South Korea.
“The quality of our manufacturing and assembly facilities are extremely high, which we continuously prove through timeliness of deliveries and robustness of our products. This is key to secure repeat orders from high-quality shipbuilders such as Hanwha Ocean,” adds Tanum.
TMC is headquartered in Oslo, Norway. The company is globally recognized as the leading supplier of compressed air systems for marine and offshore use.
