We are very proud to report today about the largest ship loading arm that SVT has ever designed and built:

After a year of planning, design and production, it is finally done:

The “monster”, as the loading arm is affectionately called at SVT, is 28 meters high and weighs 57 tons. In this video the SVT team prepares the loading arm for the final test phase on the SVT test site.

When the loading arm will later be fully assembled at its destination with counterweight, triple swivel assembly and platform, its weight will reach almost 80 tons.

He will need this stability in his new destination since he will have to withstand temperatures as low as -52 ° Celsius, heavy waves, storms and salt water.

A big thank you for 20 years of SVT.

To our customers for their trust and their long-term loyalty, and to our business partners who accompanied us on this journey.

To our employees for their commitment and their performance. Despite of all the challenges, they have continuously developed and supported our customers on their way to their success.

In the last two years especially and despite of Covid-19, we as a team have done a great job when, in addition to our daily work, we were able to develop and implement important digitalization and process improvements.

Without you, our customers and our employees, we would not be able to share our success now. We are therefore proud and grateful for what you do every day.

We look forward to what’s to come, our future developments in the years ahead together with you.

ISO 45001 was developed as a new central standard in the field of occupational safety and health. One of its special features is that it emphasizes the responsibility of the top hierarchical level and declares occupational safety and health protection to be a task for all managers. In addition, external companies are also included in the consideration in order to ensure safety in an all-encompassing manner.

SVT GmbH is the first company in Germany to be certified to ISO 45001 by Lloyd’s Register.

At this year’s GASTECH in Houston, the SVT team was able to present our newly developed High Pressure Safety Release Coupler for CNG products (HP QCDC), a main component of the SVT high pressure loading arm. The HPQCDC has successfully passed all tests according to OCIMF guidelines, conducted by Lloyd’s Register.

SVT developed the hydraulically controlled SVT High Pressure Loading Arm to meet the requirements of loading HP CNG in port and on floating regasification units (FSRU).

The flexible and contemporary design enables operation under extreme conditions. It not only enables safe loading and high reliability, but also optimizes maintenance requirements and total cost of ownership for terminal operators.
