In August, The Switch won an order for 12 PMM1500 permanent magnet (PM) shaft generators to be supplied for power take out (PTO) on newbuild liquefied natural gas carriers (LNGC). Deliveries are scheduled from Q3 2025 through Q3 2026.
“Our permanent magnet technology was a perfect match for what the shipowner was looking for. Our track record of more than 100 PM shaft generators for LNGCs clearly proves the significance of the benefits this technology brings to the end customer – lower fuel costs and reduced emissions,” says Jussi Puranen, The Switch Product Line Director, Electrical Machines.
