GTT launches LNG smart shipping tool

The LNG Optim solution, based on GTT’s expertise in studying boil-off gas management and developed in collaboration with the group’s subsidiaries, Ascenz, Marorka and OSE Engineering, isa said to have already been adopted by some key players in LNG shipping.

The studies performed by GTT to design the solution took into account the modelling of complex phenomena such as LNG ageing, the influence of sea states on boil-off gas generation, as well as the impact of active systems like reliquefaction plants and sub-coolers.

“This new technological innovation from GTT, which is the result of joint work between the different teams of the group, marks our ambition in the very promising field of smart shipping,” said Philippe Berterottière, chair and chief executive of GTT.

“Our digital offer aims to support ship-owners, charterers and operators in the energy transition, by optimising the operational and environmental performance of their LNG-fuelled vessels,” he added.
