Sauer hands over compressor no 100,000

December 2008 - For a fitting inspection and subsequent handover of compressor number 100,000, the setting at the Sauer test stand in December 2008 was unusually ceremonious. In addition to the proud Sauer team, the employees of Germanische Lloyds were also present.

All of them looked on as the managing director, Dr. Edgar Schmitt, personally gripped the hammer and stamped the official test mark onto the compressor.

The WP 45L will be in operation together with its predecessor no. 99,999, which is of the same design, on the new ship no. 1309 from the Sietas shipyard in Hamburg and is sure to live up to its name.
