DNV GL AiP for GTT NO96 system

This announcement follows AiP from Bureau Veritas in mid-January.

GTT and DNV GL reviewed the compatibility of the NO96 technology within a container vessel hull to ensure that the integration of such a containment system is fit for purpose. A sloshing assessment of the containment system has also been performed.

Philippe Berterottière, chairman and chief executive GTT, said, “This approval by DNV GL now allows us to offer to the ship-owners two membrane technologies – Mark III technology, which has already been certified, and NO96.”

“NO96, already used in over 200 LNGc, represents a reliable and competitive solution which is particularly well adapted to Ultra Large Container Vessel fuel tanks,” he added.

Ivar Håberg, director of approval at DNV GL, said the classification society was happy to work with GTT in its adaptation of the NO96 technology for LNG fuel applications.

“The availability of technology alternatives is important for our customers to accelerate the transition to more environmentally friendly fuels,” he said.
