Finland-based marine technology manufacturer Langh Tech has begun a collaboration to represent South Korean LNG solution provider Gas Entec’s fuel gas supply systems (FGSS) in Europe.
Langh Tech will be responsible for sales and promotion of Gas Entec’s FGSS and fuel tank to customers including ship owners in Europe, and Gas Entec will support Langh Tech in development and supply of systems to meet the needs of customers. The Gas Entec FGSS solution has been applied to dual fuel boilers and generator engines since 2015 and commercial vessels since 2019, with a focus on the Asian market. The aim of the collaboration with Langh Tech is to help make the technology more accessible worldwide, especially in Europe.
Langh Tech and Gas Entec first started working together in 2021 when Langh Tech shipowner sister company, Langh Ship, ordered Gas Entec’s FGSS for three multi-purpose vessel new buildings being built in Wuhu, China. From this, discussions evolved into entering the new partnership.
Langh Tech MD Laura Langh-Lagerlöf said: “We are always open to expanding our product portfolio with different green tech solutions. Since we have positive first-hand experience of Gas Entec’s system through our new building project, it was easy to make the decision to enter a collaboration. Langh Tech’s other products include open and closed loop SOx scrubbers, ballast water treatment systems, as well as ongoing product development such as carbon capture technology. FGSS makes a logical addition to the existing line-up.”
Gas Entec specialises in various LNG technologies. In addition to FGSS, the Gas Entec solutions include floating and onshore LNG terminals, LNG carrier and bunker vessels and ship conversions to LNG such as LNG Carrier-to-FSRU (Floating Storage & Regasfication Unit).
