Nordan Marine

What Nordan Marine does

Nordan Marine A/S is a specialized marine service and product company headquartered in Frederikshavn, Denmark, with a regional service hub in Singapore. Founded in 2011 by Kent Mahon Krogh and Allan Bech (originally as Seaside Marine), the company provides maintenance, repair, spare parts, and pre-docking inspection services for the gas handling systems of LPG, LEG, LNG, chemical, and product tankers, as well as alternative fuel-capable vessels, offshore platforms, FPSOs, and gas terminals. Service engineers attend more than 150 gas carriers annually under a 24/7 dispatch model.

The technical core of the business is multi-OEM service coverage: certified expertise across centrifugal pump brands (Thune Eureka, Kværner Eureka, Hamworthy, Svanehøj, Wärtsilä), safety relief valves (Flow Safe, Korval, Anderson Greenwood, Fukui, LESER), cargo cooling compressors (Burckhardt Compression, Howden, Tanabe, Mycom), and submerged/fuel pumps (Shinko, Nikisso, Ebara, Cryostar). Proprietary assets include Overhaul Kits and Repair Seal Kits for CA/CB/CG pump types developed over 30+ years, a complete C2G Seal Bearing Assembly product line across five series, and an in-house Power Booster Unit capable of testing high-pressure safety valves up to 500 barG. Authorized channel partner status with Flow Safe provides exclusive marine distribution rights for that safety valve brand.

Nordan Marine operates a hybrid revenue model combining professional services (time-and-materials onboard service, workshop repair, calibration, pre-docking inspection) with hardware sales (CG and DESMI centrifugal pumps, DESMI cargo pumps including methanol-compatible NDW series, new safety valves, and an extensive spare parts inventory). Distribution is entirely direct — no intermediaries — with customers reached via phone, email, and website contact. Since 2025, Nordan Marine has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DESMI A/S within DESMI's New Green Solutions business area, retaining its brand identity while leveraging DESMI's broader pump portfolio and 21-country, 1,100+ employee global network.

Direct peers

• Cryostar (Air Liquide subsidiary): France-based supplier of submerged LNG cargo pumps and cryogenic equipment. Competes head-to-head with Nordan's Submerged/Fuel Pump Services and refueling-pump service line for LNG carriers, FSRUs, and LNG-fueled vessels.
• Burckhardt Compression: Swiss-headquartered manufacturer and servicer of reciprocating compressors, including cargo cooling compressors on LNG/LPG carriers. Nordan Marine engineers are trained and certified by Burckhardt, and they offer directly comparable compressor service, spares, and laser alignment work to the same gas carrier customers.
• TGE Marine Gas Engineering: German-headquartered specialist in cargo handling systems for LPG, LEG, and LNG carriers, including gas fuel systems for vessels. Directly competes with Nordan on gas carrier newbuild equipment, service, and spare parts supply across the same customer base.
• Svanehøj (part of ITT Inc.): Danish specialist in deepwell and submerged cargo pumps for LNG, LEG, and LPG carriers. Supply spare parts, new pumps, and field service for many of the same pump families Nordan supports, including overlapping OEM-brand coverage (Eureka/Thune/Hamworthy heritage).

Broad incumbents

• MAN Energy Solutions: Germany-based marine propulsion and turbo machinery OEM and service provider. Provides large-scale engine and propulsion MRO; relevant comparable for the marine service/spares revenue model applied to gas carrier and offshore auxiliary equipment, though MAN's portfolio is much broader.
• Alfa Laval Marine Service: Global marine equipment manufacturer and service network covering pumps, heat exchangers, separators, and boiler systems. Overlaps with Nordan's auxiliary systems repair, pump spare parts, and calibration/services on gas carriers and offshore units, though across a much wider equipment portfolio.
• Wärtsilä Marine (Voyage & Services): Finland-based broad marine services and systems incumbent (formed via acquisition of Hamworthy, among others). Competes with Nordan on gas handling equipment service, spares, and lifecycle support for LNG carriers and offshore, while also offering engines, electrification, and broader vessel services.

Others

• Flow Safe Inc. (Dresser): US-based manufacturer of safety relief and pressure relief valves and Nordan's exclusive marine authorized channel partner. Acts both as OEM supplier and as upstream brand whose installed base generates Nordan's recurring spare parts and service demand.
• LESER GmbH & Co. KG: German safety valve manufacturer whose products Nordan's workshop is certified to test, repair, and supply spare parts for. Comparable as an OEM/partner ecosystem peer for safety relief valve service on gas carriers.

Emerging players

• GTT (Gaztransport & Technigaz): France-based LNG containment system designer and emerging provider of related vessel services, including monitoring and operational support. Adjacent rather than direct competitor, but operates in the same LNG carrier ecosystem and could expand into the service space over time.
