When you’re hauling liquefied gas across oceans, the margin for error is zero. Engines run hard, bunkering operations face strict scrutiny, and every system on board has to perform under cryogenic and corrosive conditions.

Tranter exchangers are designed to take that pressure. Compact, efficient, and built in marine-grade materials, they support propulsion, lube systems, and bunkering duties with the reliability you need when the cargo itself is your fuel.

Applications across LNGC and LPGC vessels

Clean fuel engines

Cleaner propulsion is now the standard in LNG and LPG carriers.

Tranter exchangers provide the durability and stability these engines demand, ensuring fuel systems stay compliant while maximizing efficiency.

Engine cooling

High-duty marine engines generate enormous heat.

Our exchangers dissipate it effectively, protecting against failure and keeping vessels on schedule.

LNG bunker barge

In bunkering, safety is everything. Tranter exchangers play a critical role in handling and transferring LNG, ensuring stable temperatures for safe, efficient operations.
