Hamworthy will supply LPG cargo handling packages to Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) Co Ltd, for installation on two 23,000 cubic metre fully refrigerated LPG carriers to Indonesian owner Pertamina Shipping. The systems are designed to handle cargoes with a boiling point down to -50oC.
Since 2005, Hamworthy has been contracted to supply cargo handling equipment for a total of 24 LPG carriers of different sizes to HHI, the world’s largest shipbuilder of LPG carriers.

“We are very happy to continue our good relationship with HHI and Pertamina by the inclusion of these two contracts” said Stein Thoresen, Hamworthy’s Business Unit Director, LPG Marine.
This latest contract calls for all cargo-related engineering and equipment to be delivered in 2010 and 2011, with the ships due to be delivered in November 2011.
The main scope of supply will include:
• Cargo related engineering including deck tank engineering
