Ship managers and crew know that time is of the essence – be it when they are dry-docked or at sea. When an equipment breaks down, it needs to be repaired quickly to minimize the downtime of the entire vessel. However, ship managers and crew today face more issues on-board, a convoluted process for escalation,…
GIANTECH has emerged as a finalist in the Smart Port Challenge 2019 organised by PIER71. PIER71, which stands for Port Innovation Ecosystem Reimagined @ BLOCK71, is a collaboration between the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and NUS Enterprise, the entrepreneurial arm of the National University of Singapore (NUS). PIER71 aims to catalyse the…
Types of Burners In the marine industry, gas and oil-fired marine boilers both utilise the controlled combustion of fuel to heat water. The burners in the boilers are involved in this combustion, along with the other components in the boilers such as the combustion chamber, heat exchanger, and controls. To understand how burners work,…
In January this year, our engineers successfully performed a complete burner overhaul on a Kangrim boiler on board on a LPG Vessel in Singapore shipyard. As part of the vessel’s drydock servicing at the Shipyard in Singapore, our boiler engineering team conducted a series of meticulous simulation tests and checks on the burner before taking…
Air products AS (APAS) is one of the many N2 Generators makers supplying N2 systems to the marine and offshore industry. It has as at 2019, over 1200 over units of its N2 Systems supplied to the marine and offshore market, and commands more than 90% of the supply to LNG carriers worldwide.
So who is APAS exactly and what does it do? GT Reviews investigates.

A Guide to Understanding P/V Valves If you are totally clueless about pressure vacuum valves and you want to find out more, you have come to the right place! This concise guide will help you gain a better understanding of their operation, selection and installation. In short, pressure-vacuum (P/V) relief valves are safety devices that…
1. Inert Gas Generators (IGG) How this works: Inert Gas Generators (IGG) produce inert gases that are delivered to a ship’s cargo tanks, to prevent the combustion of fuel oil and air (i.e. explosions), by maintaining a low level of oxygen (less than 5%). The IGGs consist of two main units – the burner and…
Pressure-Vacuum Relief Valves, or P/V valves for short, are special venting devices designed to protect cargo and storage tanks from rupturing inwards (implosion) or outwards (explosion) due to pressure fluctuations under normal operating conditions. Factors that can cause a change in tank pressure include surrounding temperature and vapour quantity. Read more: Marine Equipment Series: A…
The number of passes in the gas flow is another way to classify fire-tube boilers. This is applicable for fire-tube boilers as the flue gases are traveling in the tubes of the boiler. In general, fire-tube boilers are either single-pass or multi-pass type. Multipass boiler …
