Høglund awarded gas management and automation contracts for Pacific Gas VLECs

Høglund noted that effectively integrating automation and gas handling systems on gas newbuilds would lead to significantly enhanced reliability, efficiency and simplified lifetime maintenance. Without proper consideration for automation and integration, vessels are at risk of becoming too complex and a significant challenge to operate and maintain, the company said.

David Gunaseelan, Vice President of Sales at Høglund Marine Solutions commented: “These contracts demonstrate how the industry is recognising the need for joined-up thinking and systems in the growing gas fleet, and the performance and reliability benefits this delivers. As such, Pacific Gas will have peace of mind that their VLEC will operate as efficiently and reliably as possible.”
