The pump systems for the first six vessels have been delivered, while the pump systems for the last four vessels will be delivered in Q3 of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Svaneh\u00f8j is meeting an increasing demand for larger vessels and, four years ago, launched a patented fuel pump for gas, thereby offering complete deepwell pump solutions for all types of gas such as LNG, LPG, ammonia and ethane.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the first time that our deepwell gas pumps are used on such a large scale, which is why this VLEC project is of huge strategic significance for us,\u201d said Johnny Houmann, sales director at Svaneh\u00f8j.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt proves that we are able to provide adapted solutions with 29m pumps that function efficiently at significantly lower temperatures and still meet very high standards for vibrations and operations,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>It is the first time that deepwell pumps are being used with the GTT membrane tank which is more sensitive to vibrations.
