Wärtsilä Gas Solutions, part of technology group Wärtsilä, will supply the cargo handling systems for three 45,000 m3 capacity gas carrier vessels being built at the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) in Korea.
The order was placed by HMD and booked by Wärtsilä in Q1, 2025. Two of the ships have been contracted by Singapore and Hong Kong headquartered ship owner/operator Purus, and the third by Pasco Gas, based in Istanbul, Turkey. Both owners have previously ordered similar vessels fitted with Wärtsilä cargo handling systems.

Wärtsilä Gas Solutions is a world-pioneering designer and supplier of advanced cargo handling and reliquefaction systems to gas carriers of all sizes. The company has established a close relationship with HMD over the years on a broad range of gas-related products and systems.
"HMD is a key customer in the medium-sized gas carrier market. Over the past decade, we have equipped more than 15 medium-sized gas carriers built by HMD. We are excited to continue with the latest project and several other ongoing ones," comments Patrick Ha, Sales Manager, Wärtsilä Gas Solutions.
The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery to the yard commencing in the latter part of 2025.
