The Danish pump specialist Svanehøj expects to submit an all-time high order intake of DKK750 million–DKK800 million for 2021, up 50% on the company’s previous record set in 2014.
2021 has been a record year for Svanehøj.
Svanehøj’s patented DW gas pump answer is among the primary progress drivers. เครื่องมือที่ใช้วัดความดัน was introduced to the market in 2015 and will account for nearly 30% of complete orders in 2021.
CEO Søren Kringelholt Nielsen stated the company’s gas pump sales quadrupled on 2020, with new orders unfold extensively throughout sectors.
“We see a major increase in orders of gas pump systems for LNG-fuelled boxships, cruise ships and PCTC vessels. Furthermore, we’ve obtained a very massive number of orders for LPG carriers, where we provide pump systems for both cargo and gas,” stated Kringelholt Nielsen.
During 2021, Svanehøj secured two vital orders from Samsung Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering for LNG gas pump methods for 22 Ultra Large Container Vessels. And recently, Svanehøj signed an agreement with a Japanese FGSS supplier on gas pumps for six LNG-fuelled Pure Care and Truck Carriers.
“We see clear indications that lots of the ships to be constructed within the coming years shall be built to run on LNG. Therefore, we count on further development in this segment,” stated Kringelholt Nielsen.
“At the identical time, a market for new gas types will emerge, pushed by the large-scale investments in Power-to-X. We have already taken this into account with our gas pump, which is absolutely compatible with e-fuels such as green ammonia and methanol. In this way, we handle shipowners’ uncertainty with a future-proof pump resolution. Regardless of the propellant,” mentioned Kringelholt Nielsen.
Svanehøj has started 2022 with a new strategy and a target of doubling its turnover to DKK1 billion (US$152 million) by 2026. In addition to fuel pumps for LNG, LPG and future artificial e-fuels, Svanehøj sees great potential in developing pump options for the infrastructure to be constructed round Power-to-X and carbon seize and storage (CCS).
