Hamworthy have won significant orders for four ship sets of deepwell cargo pumps systems and two liquid petroleum gas reliquefaction systems ("LPG-RS") for a combined total in excess of £10 million.
Hamworthy will supply four 49,900dwt product tankers with electric-drive CKL 300 deepwell cargo pumps. The ship sets are due for delivery from late 2008 to mid 2009. The tankers are being built at Brodosplit Shipyard in Croatia on behalf of Concordia Maritime.
The two LPG-RS equipment sets have been ordered by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co. ("DSME"). The equipment is due for delivery during the first six months of 2009 and will be installed on two very large gas carriers ("VLGC") which have been ordered by Brave Maritime of Greece. The VLGCs are the last two carriers of a series of 12 that are being constructed by DSME.
Kelvyn Derrick, Chief Executive of Hamworthy, said: "The order for LPG-RS confirms our strong relationship with DSME. Hamworthy has now received orders for all twelve ships in this particular series. The Brodosplit product carriers order for deepwell pumps highlights the market´s interest in the environmental and performance benefits of electric-drive pumps."
