Langh Tech has successfully delivered a scrubber system to the Chios Navigation 50.000 dwt Medium Range product Tanker, a newbuilding from Hyundai Mipo Shipyard, says a press release published on their website.
Open Loop-Hybrid ready scrubbers
Chios Navigation has been one of the first Greek ship owners who have selected during early 2018 Langh Tech Open Loop-Hybrid ready scrubbers for their Newbuilding project in Hyundai Mipo.
The system consists of a U-type multi-inlet 5 flue gas sources Open Loop hybrid ready configuration to serve the Main Engine of 7180 kW MCR power, three auxiliary generating sets and the Auxiliary Boiler, consuming totally only about 130 kW in design operating load.
Sea trails successful
At the end of April 2019, M/T Doric Courage was delivered successfully from the Shipyard with sea trials confirming the high performance of the Scrubber system and its simplicity.
“We were looking for a Scrubber system for our Newbuilding project that would be technically simple and sound, but with qualitative elements. We favored a provider being fully acceptable by HMD Shipyard, demonstrating efficient project management skills and offering strong after sales support”, says Mr. Nicholas Kydoniefs, Technical Director of Chios Navigation.
Target understanding and efficient solutions
He said, “Langh Tech, as ship owners themselves, demonstrated and proved their understanding of our targets and we eventually received a high-performance system with minimal issues during construction, commissioning and delivery. We believe that we have invested in an efficient hybrid-ready solution with low operating costs”.
Space configuration and low operating costs
“It is our honor to serve Chios Navigation in Greece and we are very excited to work on our first Hyundai Mipo MR Tanker project. Our system was fully fit to the Scrubber design specification and space configuration of the Shipyard while due to low operating costs it will offer a significantly fast pay-back to the shipowner. We have further committed to providing strong technical support during the whole operational lifetime of the system“, says Laura Langh-Lagerlöf, Commercial Director of Langh Tech.
