HD Hyundai and Hanwha Ocean Unveil Next-Gen Gas Tech at Gastech 2026
HD Hyundai and Hanwha Ocean are showcasing their cutting-edge technologies at Gastech 2026 in Bangkok. The event, which runs from Monday to Thursday, is the world's largest gas and energy exhibition with over 50,000 visitors and around 1,000 companies attending this year.
Five affiliates of HD Hyundai will participate, displaying models of next-generation liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, floating storage and regasification units, and liquefied carbon dioxide carriers. The group is set to receive design appraisal from Lloyd's Register for a next-generation LNG carrier featuring an accommodation block at the bow and multiple wind-assisted propulsion systems.
They will also present approval-in-principle certifications for three technologies: a design that can replace minimum pressure requirements for C-type liquefied-gas tanks, a 35,000-cubic-meter liquefied carbon dioxide carrier, and a hybrid electric propulsion system for an 185,000-cubic-meter LNG carrier.
Additionally, they will showcase an AI solution designed to optimize engine operations on LNG carriers. Hanwha Ocean is unveiling a model of its self-developed 60-megawatt floating data center to global customers for the first time. The company claims it can generate its own power offshore and improve energy efficiency through seawater-based cooling.
