Cargo Handling Systems (CHS)

Høglund has drawn on its years of experience in developing marine solutions to create modern, safe and reliable Cargo Handling Solutions (CHS) for all LNG carriers, barges and bunkering vessels.

Regardless of the vessel type, size, engine or other characteristics, Høglund’s CHS provides a flexible option, bringing modern automation technology for operations such as boil-off gas management, cargo handling and ship-to-ship bunkering.

Høglund’s CHS can be seamlessly integrated into a vessel’s tank design and automation. We provide an advanced engineering package that incorporates all gas related equipment on your vessel. Our scope ranges from the full tank and gas plant specification, to the supply of premanufactured hardware modules up to the mechanical and digital integration on board.

Smart BOG management and added automation in cargo operations make life on board more effortless and efficient.

Smart

With a track record in system integration, Høglund’s solutions are fully integrated within existing vessel automation systems, increasing safety, reliability and efficiency. Custody Transfer Systems (CTS) can be fully integrated into the CHS, ensuring cargo operations are carried out to the highest accuracy. This also gives operators better access to data and technical insights to improve their operations.

Safe

Major functions crucial for LNG operations such as gas management are twinned with automation solutions and fully integrated into existing command and control interfaces, helping crew to manage potential risks and hazards in a better way. The CHS is compliant with IGC/IGF and ISO20519.

Reliable

Høglund’s CHS comes with extensive shipyard and 24/7 technical support. This gives you peace of mind that your vessel is backed up by on-hand expertise every hour, every day. We use standardized, widely available components for ease of maintenance.
