Honeywell chosen by Top Shipbuilders
Honeywell has announced that Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) and STX Offshore & Shipbuilding (STX) will use Honeywell's Integrated Automation Systems (IAS) in five vessels commissioned by ship owners in Norway, Russia and the United States. The projects are valued at more than US$8 million.
DSME and STX will use IAS in vessels under construction for the transportation of liquid natural gas (LNG). DSME is building the industry's largest advanced floating storage and regasification unit capable of delivering 20 million cubic meters per day of natural gas to south-eastern Brazil.
The IAS solution uses Honeywell's Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS), and will manage the machinery and cargo areas of the vessels, including the cargo emergency shutdown system. Honeywell's solution enables the project teams to better manage and control operations and ensure that the vessels comply with strict global standards.
David Higgins, Director - Marine, Honeywell Process Solutions said, "We are using our award-winning solutions to help DSME and STX keep their ships running under harsh conditions. These LNG vessels will be able to integrate production, processing, and transportation operations, and ensure strict compliance with security, safety, regulatory and environmental requirements."
