Deepwell Cargo Pumps for LNG Bunker Vessel
Collaboration with Gas & Heat
DESMI has supplied four NDW150-3-1 deepwell cargo pumps to Gas & Heat S.p.A. in Italy – a company specializing in the design and construction of gas cargo systems and cryogenic fuel handling plants for the marine sector.
The delivery supports Gas & Heat’s work on a new LNG bunker vessel, contributing to the growing demand for efficient and reliable systems for alternative fuels. By combining Gas & Heat’s expertise in cryogenic technologies with DESMI’s pump solutions, the project demonstrates effective collaboration within the transition toward cleaner marine energy.
Application and scope
The four NDW150-3-1 deepwell cargo pumps are part of a cargo system for an LNG bunker vessel. Each of the vessel’s two LPG tanks is equipped with two pumps, installed to manage the transfer of cryogenic fuel.
The pumps are designed for high efficiency and reliability in demanding marine environments, ensuring stable performance during cargo handling operations. Their configuration supports precise control of LNG transfer processes while maintaining safety and operational integrity.
Installation and supervision
To ensure correct installation and compliance with project requirements, Nordan Marine supervised the mechanical assembly of the pump components and the installation of two pumps into the first of the two LPG tanks.
Their supervision ensured that the work progressed according to plan and that the pumps were properly aligned within the system design. The installation was a perfect fit, marking an important milestone in the project and confirming the suitability of the DESMI deepwell cargo pumps for the LNG application.
