Sheffield's Parker Bestobell contracted for major marine valve order with South Korea

Parker Bestobell Marine, the Sheffield-based supplier of cryogenic valves, has received an order from DSME (Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering) in South Korea to supply its valves for the next three LNG carriers being built on behalf of Canadian company Teekay.

These three new LNG vessels are part of a series of eight ships being built by DSME for Teekay.

Parker Bestobell Marine had received orders for globe and check valves for the previous five vessels and this latest order completes the series for the UK company.

Duncan Gaskin, Parker Bestobell Marine’s market development manager, said: “We are delighted that DSME has specified our cryogenic valves for all eight vessels in this series.

“We have a strong working relationship with DSME with a firm commitment to delivering our high quality valves on time and in line with their production schedules. This is a very important consideration for DSME’s LNG newbuild projects.”

Recently, Parker Bestobell Marine received a second major order with DSME in South Korea to supply globe and check valves for the Yamal series of vessels, which will total fifteen ships when completed.

Parker Bestobell Marine manufactures LNG cryogenic valves. Its valves are widely used on LNG Carriers, FSRUs (Floating, Storage & Re-gasification Units) and LNG fuel gas systems.

The company designs and produces valves to meet specific requirements in the marine sector and has supplied cryogenic valves to a majority of the major shipyards building LNG Carriers.
