Burckhardt Compression Secures Major Order from Hanwha Ocean

 

 

 

Burckhardt Compression has recently been awarded a significant contract by Hanwha Ocean to supply 14 boil‑off gas (BOG) compressors for 7 174,000 m3 LNG carriers. The project marks the first commercial deployment of Burckhardt Compression’s new high-pressure boil-off gas compressor generation, specifically engineered to meet the requirements of next‑generation LNG carriers.

Hanwha Ocean’s latest vessel platform introduces GTT’s cargo containment system NO96 Super+ and Everllence’s upgraded ME‑GI propulsion system operating at 330‑bar gas injection pressure, resulting in lower BOG rates and improved energy consumption, meeting the future requirements for stricter emission and methane slip regulations. In close collaboration with Everllence and the Hanwha Ocean design teams, Burckhardt Compression developed the high-pressure compressor to meet these elevated performance expectations.

The compressor integrates fully into the revised ship design, forming a core element of the new vessel platform. “Winning this milestone project demonstrates our technological leadership in high‑pressure ME‑GI applications,” said Andreas Brautsch, president Systems Division of Burckhardt Compression “This compressor sets a new performance benchmark in BOG management and reinforces our role as a key technology partner for next‑generation LNG carriers.”

This award is the biggest single order in the Marine segment in Burckhardt Compression’s history. By securing this project, Burckhardt Compression establishes a lighthouse industry reference and strengthens its long‑term position in the global LNG carrier market.
