Yokogawa Wins LNG Carrier Control System Order for Ichthys LNG Project in Australia

横川电气公司宣布已收到川崎重工有限公司的订单，为澳大利亚的Ichthys LNG Project*建造的LNG运营商提供控制系统。

The ship will be the world's largest Moss-type LNG carrier and will be used for transporting LNG from an onshore LNG processing plant that is being constructed as part of the Ichthys LNG project. The ship is scheduled to enter service by the end of 2016, in time for the completion of the plant. The ship is also the first Moss-type LNG carrier equipped with a dual fuel diesel engine (DFDE), which burns both fuel oil and gas.

横川将提供Centum®VP集成生产控制系统，以监视和控制LNG载体的LNG储罐，加载/卸载设施，以及向DFDE供应DFDE以及向其他驾驶单元提供电源。横川还将负责控制系统的工程和调试。

Yokogawa believes that the following factors were key considerations in the decision to give it this order:

•The company has already delivered control systems for other DFDE ships.

•The company has a global service network, ensuring that vessels can undergo maintenance at any LNG port.

横川在2012年赢得了其他Ichthys LNG项目设施的控制系统订单。其中包括陆上液化天然气加工厂，离岸生产/过程设施以及浮动生产，存储和卸货（FPSO）船只。通过此合同，Centum VP系统将涵盖从生产到液化天然气运输的所有项目设施。

Globally, the construction of many LNG carriers is planned for the transport of LNG from North America, Russia, Africa, and other regions. Backed by this order, Yokogawa will expand its control business for marine resource development facilities, including LNG carriers, FPSO vessels, floating LNG (FLNG) vessels, and floating storage and re-gasification units (FSRU).
