It has successfully modified its existing LNG fuel pumps, which minimise their impact on boil-off gas generation, to operate with other fuel types such as ethane.<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Some 3-4 years ago we predicted that there would be opportunities in this area as the international demand for ethane for the production of plastics has risen. Together with our French partner, GTT, we have worked to develop solutions specifically for these VLECs, and we are now beginning to see the results,&#8221; said Sales Director Hans H\u00f8yer Jensen from Svaneh\u00f8j.<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8220;<\/b>Projections show that almost a third of ships in 2030 will sail on ethane or natural gas. So we definitely expect many more people to start looking in our direction when they need to build ships that meet the new requirements.
