TMC Compressors has been contracted by Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) to deliver a marine compressed air system to ten MR tankers that are being built for Central Group.

Under the contract, TMC will supply a complete marine compressed air system, including service and control air compressors, to each of the ten 50,000-dwt product tankers. TMC has not disclosed the value of the contract.

“According to media reports, this is the largest MR tanker order so far in 2026. We are honored to be chosen as supplier to these ten vessels and will ensure that we deliver on time and at the right quality to GSI,” said Morten Orlien, Business Development Manager at TMC.

The tanker is designed by Guangzhou Shipyard International. It measures approximately 183 meters in length and 32.2 meters in width. The vessel’s overall design complies with the latest international regulations and incorporates energy-saving and environmentally friendly systems. It meets IMO’s Tier III emission standards, highlighting its advantages in green and intelligent performance.

“Energy efficiency is at the core of everything we do. The more shipowners and shipyards focus on energy efficiency in their ship designs, the more it seems to benefit us through new equipment orders. This is a development that we are very pleased with,” added Morten Orlien.

TMC is headquartered in Oslo. The company develops marine compressed air systems solely for marine and offshore applications.
