SINGAPORE, 10 March 2025: Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS), a global leader in shipping, and DongHwa Entec (DHE), a leading provider of marine engineering solutions, have announced their collaboration on the development and installation of a High-Pressure (HP) Compressor for an 18,000 TEU LNG-fueled container ship under construction at China’s NTS Shipyard. This initiative marks a significant advancement in LNG fuel gas supply systems, reinforcing both companies’ commitment to sustainability and technological innovation.

As part of EPS’ commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, this collaboration optimizes the utilization of Boil-Off Gas (BOG) to enhance fuel efficiency and, in return, significantly reducing environmental impact. With the HP Compressor integrated, the vessel will be able to channel BOG directly into the main engine, minimizing emissions and maximizing fuel efficiency, a major leap forward in decarbonizing shipping operations.

For DHE, this project represents a major milestone in advancing LNG fuel technology. As a manufacturing-based engineering specialist with expertise in gas fuel supply systems, cargo handling system (CHS) and other gaseous process advanced system solutions, DHE is strengthening its leadership in sustainable marine engineering solutions. Its affiliate, DongHwa Pneutec, a recoqnised leader in compressor manufacturing, traditionally specialised in Low-Pressure (LP) Compressors, will expand its product range to include HP Compressors with this project, broadening its expertise and market reach in advanced LNG technologies.

This collaboration underscores EPS and DHE’s shared vision for a greener maritime industry, driving innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. By advancing LNG fuel technologies, both companies will stay committed to pushing the boundaries of sustainable shipping.
