Hitachi, Ltd. has built and sold 80 general purpose gas turbines since 1964. These were primarily used for stationary power generation purposes. This experience will now be combined with the shipbuilding technology of Hitachi Zosen. The joint agreement will provide gas turbines for vessels to be built by Hitachi Zosen and also to fulfill orders expected from other domestic Japanese and foreign shipbuilders. Considerable demand is expected for use of the turbines in LPG tankers, container vessels, ferryboats, etc. Marketing will also be jointly handled by Hi- tachi, Ltd. and Hitachi Zosen.
