Big valve order from German shipbuilder for Truflo
Truflo Marine Valves FCX has won an order from German shipbuilder HDW for over £350,000 worth of specialist valves for the new high-tech U212 submarine.
FCX Truflo Rona also supplied the first two vessels in the series - Excelsior and Excellence - with cryogenic ball valves for the cargo containment systems and high-pressure globe valves for the world's first onboard regasification plant.
The third vessel, which is still to be named, is scheduled for delivery between October and December 2006.
The carrier is based on a standard 138,000m3 design with various upgrades and modifications including high-pressure pumps, shell and tube vaporisers and oversized boilers which allow them to vaporise their LNG cargoes on board and deliver high pressure gas to downstream pipelines.
Although the vessel will have the ability to regasify LNG onboard, it will load identically to standard LNG tankers and retain the ability to unload at conventional land-based terminals.
This is because the vessels are designed to keep the regasification equipment separate from other systems, and hence its operation does not interfere with general operation.
