In the marine field, LGE offers a complete design, supply and supervision service to the major shipyards throughout the world for cargo storage and handling plants. Recognised as a world leader in the marine industry, we have designed and supplied over 150 cargo plants for a wide range of ship types and sizes. These range from small fully pressurised vessels to some of the largest fully refrigerated vessels trading today, and covering temperatures from –104 șC to +90 șC.

Starting from supporting the client in pre-project concept development and specification, we will provide ship and cargo plant design packages along with the specialised equipment and materials. Together with experienced supervisors this ensures that the construction is to the required standard. We of course liase with the shipyard and the shipowner throughout the life of the project to achieve the optimum end result.

This support and assistance extends after the delivery of the vessel with LGE undertaking audits of cargo plants for ship owners to help them in prolonging the useful life of the vessel, training of crews to improve the understanding of the systems and troubleshooting when operational problems arise.
