📋 Tender Overview
part of technology group Wartsila will supply the cargo handling systems for two vessels being built at the Hanwha Ocean shipyard in Korea. The 88000 m3 capacity vessels have been ordered by a Japanese ship owner. This latest order which was booked by Wartsila in Q2 2025 further strengthens the companys established leading position as a supplier of cargo handling systems.
We have good experience with Wartsilas cargo handling systems. Their support and quick reaction to our needs havealways been much appreciated and their systems are perfectly designed for these two VLACs says Mr. Lee Leader of Basic Design Team Hanwha Ocean Co.
VLACs are essentially Very Large Gas Carriers but designed to carry full cargoes of ammonia. Since ammonia has a high specific gravity VLAC cargo tanks and hulls need to be reinforced and the vessels will have a deeper draught when fully loaded.
Enabling decarbonised shipping operations is at the core of our strategy. This contract is an additional proof point for continuous successful strategy implementation while reinforcing our strong partnership with Hanwha comments Patrick Ha Sales Manager Wartsila Gas Solutions.
The Wartsila equipment is scheduled for delivery to the yard commencing in Q4 2025.
