LNG fuel system to be installed on gas tankers


Dutch firm to engineer, produce and supervise the installation of an LNG system on two gas tankers.



Crynorm Systems says it has received an order to install an LNG fuel system on two gas tankers for Anthony Veder.

The company will engineer, produce and supervise the installation of the LNG system after Anthony Veder and Cryonorm Systems reached agreement to partner in the project.

"This is a milestone for both companies," said Jos Glorie, business development director at Cryonorm Systems.

Netherlands-based Crynorm Systems is a company that specializes in small and mid-scale applications of LNG both on land and at sea.

Anthony Veder owns and operates a modern fleet of gas tankers for the transportation of petrochemicals, liquefied petroleum and natural gas, ammonia, and carbon dioxide.
