Luda Technology Group Limited and its subsidiaries (Luda Technology or LUD.US) has announced that its subsidiary, Luda (Taian) Industrial Company Limited (Luda Taian), has signed a series of strategic cooperation agreements with several leading domestic shipbuilding enterprises, including China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), Haiting (Nantong) Shipbuilding Company, Limited, and COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Company, Limited, to jointly carry out the research and development (R&D), as well as manufacturing of specialty-material flanges and pipe fittings for ammonia-fueled vessels.
With the continued implementation of new environmental regulations by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), green and low-carbon development has become an inevitable trend in the global shipping industry. The development of vessels powered by new clean fuels, such as ammonia, hydrogen, and methanol, has become a focal point across the maritime sector. As a professional manufacturer holding a full range of certifications from leading international classification societies including DNV (Norwegian), ABS (American), CCS (Chinese), LR (British Lloyd’s), and BV (French), Luda Taian leverages its deep technical expertise in special alloy materials to provide partner shipyards with high-performance, highly reliable flange and piping connection solutions.
Under the agreements, Luda Taian will become a core supplier to the shipbuilders, delivering a full portfolio of certified products for high value-added vessel types currently under construction, such as LNG (liquefied natural gas) carriers, ultra-large container ships, chemical tankers, and luxury cruise ships.
