Delivery of the newbuilds is anticipated in 2025, taking the Vinga collection to a complete of 17 vessels.
The current settlement by the Furebear three way partnership to assemble eight 17,999 dwt LNG/LBG-fueled ice class 1A chemical & product tankers is nice information for marine pump specialist Svanehøj. It has booked an order to provide 14 electrical deepwell cargo pumps for every of the primary seven of the eight tankers— a complete of 98 pumps. They will likely be deivered to the China Merchants Jinling Shipyard in Yangzhou, the place the brand new vessels will likely be constructed between 2023 and 2025.
For Svanehøj, the order wraps up a outstanding 2022 wherein Svanehøj Danmark has seen income attain an all-time excessive, with a progress of round 70%. At the identical time, Svanehøj has maintained an exceptionally excessive order consumption of greater than DKK 700 million (round $100 million). During the yr, the workers has grown from 180 staff to over 290.
FureBear is a three way partnership between Canada’s Algoma Central Corporation and Donsö, Sweden, based mostly Furetank. The FureBear vessels will likely be constructed to the identical design because the tankers in Furetank’s Vinga collection, which have achieved the most effective EEDI rating of their phase worldwide thus far. The Vinga design was developed by Furetank in shut collaboration with FKAB Marine Design and a number of other onboard system suppliers, together with Svanehøj.
By putting in Svanehøj’s electric DL pump system, Furetank has diminished gasoline consumption throughout cargo discharge operations by round 25% in comparison with different vessels. The Vinga vessels are absolutely geared up to function the cargo pumps with 6.6 kV excessive voltage shore energy. This will cut back emissions even additional as quickly as ports provide shore energy amenities. In addition, electrical cargo pumps assist to cut back noise on board and within the port space. Furetank’s decibel measurements present that the audible sound onboard the Vinga collection vessels is diminished by 73-85% throughout cargo operations in comparison with tankers of older designs.
“With the Vinga series, Furetank has developed a ship design that sets new standards for energy-efficient tankers,” says Lars Bo Kirkegaard, gross sales director, power, Svanehøj. “For Svanehøj as a supplier, it is an excellent case because our electric cargo pumps are among the solutions for a ship design that will be an inspiration to many of those who invest in newbuilds or retrofits in the coming years.”
