Monday, January 10, 2011, 10:47
AMFluid-handling specialist Hamworthy has signed a contract with marine equipment purchaser Hua Hai Engineering & Equipment Co., Ltd to deliver pump room systems for installation on four very large crude carriers (VLCCs) to be constructed in China.....

yes and the ship has changed course slightly since HMY took the picture



It's a non exclusive agreement so perhaps RR objected to the branding on the tanks.

[piedro] 10/1/2011 12:33

It would seem they have only recently painted those gas tanks !!

Hi Piedro, good to see this news. Last September I noticed there was a snippet on the HMY web site about the submission of a joint research paper to a conference in October where HMY and RR were presenting on Gas Fuelled Ships. It appears the technical solutions were well advanced. It sounds very positive going forward.

just had a look at the trades...you cannot read much into this as the trading volumes are very light...

[honiton] 29/12/2010 19:10

this is the second successive trading session that the share price has risen sharply towards the close....does anyone know why?

Piedro, interesting article revealing news which hasn't shown up on HMY website. I know they contemplated setting up manufacturing facilities in Brazil as part of the large LPG carrier order from Transpetro but it was actually cheaper to manufacture the tanks in China and ship them. Given the opportunities in Brazil, I think it can only be a matter of time before local sourcing is inevitable. Creating a dedicated service centre looks to be a step on that path.

I'm very interested to see that the oil/water separator technology acquired from Aibel is gaining traction. It's a continuous flow treatment process rather than the traditional settlement technology and capable of much higher throughput as I understand it.

Also great to hear that the gas flare capture is making headway. Apart from the potential commercial importance to HMY it assists in cutting a massive source of emissions and waste.

Such snippets may not move the share price but despite the lack of headline grabbing contracts it's clear that progress is being made in expanding the product range in important areas and achieving sales. Now all we need is some good news about the ballast treatment technology becoming commercially available before too long.

regards, AE

MUANGSING, that's correct although from my reading, it's the growth in Oil & Gas systems orders that have raised the overall order book. All other divisions order books have declined since March.

[muangsing] 23/11/2010 09:01

I presume their order book of 186.7mill sterling is at 30 september 2010 and not the date of the report ie november 23 and hence does not include the liquid gas order of 20mill on 16 november?
