GTT receives order for two HHI LNG carriers
The company will design the LNG tanks of the two units, both of which will be equipped with GTT’s Mark III Flex containment system. The two gas carriers are being built on behalf of a European shipowner.
Deliveries of the vessels are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2022 and the third quarter of 2023 respectively.
Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT, declared: “We are pleased with the confidence placed in us by HHI, a partner with whom GTT has developed a long-term collaboration.”
Series of orders
GTT announced it had been awarded an LNG tank design deal for six new ARC7 ice-breaking LNG carriers by Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) at the beginning of December. GTT will design the tanks of the vessels, which will be fitted with the NO96 GW membrane containment system.
Three of the 172,500 m3 vessels will be built on behalf of the Japanese ship-owner Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd. (MOL) and the other three on behalf of the Russian ship-owner Sovcomflot (SCF). The vessels will be delivered throughout 2023 and will operate as part of the Russian LNG producer Novatek’s “Arctic LNG 2” project.
