LNG Cargo
Safe voyage for the energy the world depends on
TRUSTED IN LNG APPLICATIONS SINCE THE 1960s
LNG operations place unique demands on valve performance, materials and reliability.
Operating temperatures as low as -196°C leave little room for error, making proven design and operational experience essential.
KLINGER Westad supplied its first LNG valves in the 1960s and its first LNG butterfly valves in 1973. More than 50 years of LNG experience have helped shape the valve solutions we deliver today.
Over the decades, we have worked closely with shipowners, operators and shipyards around the world,
continuously refining our designs based on
real-world operation, maintenance and service experience. This accumulated knowledge is reflected in every valve we deliver.
