Automation on gas tankers
LPG/NH 3 CARRIERS In addition to the usual nautical registrations, oil and gas tankers transporting hazardous goods must comply with diverse additional requirements, especifically regarding explosion protection. Marine Technik GmbH in Schwentinental near Kiel has specialized in ship automation and relies on the modular Wago I/O System. A project with an automation system for four new LPG/NH³ tankers, built by Hyundai Mipo SY, with a load capacity of 35,000 m³, has recently been realized.
