GTT inks service deal for EPS
The deal will see GTT support EPS and CoolCo with the maintenance and operation of a global fleet of 33 vessels, including 24 LNG carriers, six very large ethane carriers and three LNG-fuelled container ships, all equipped with GTT’s Mark III or NO96 membrane containment systems.
Philippe Berterottière, chair and chief executive of GTT, said: “We welcome the signature of this agreement with our key partners EPS and CoolCo, who operate a large and diverse fleet of vessels equipped with GTT technologies.
“Our tailored support services, adapted to our customers’ requirements, allow us to guarantee maximum efficiency and safety for the vessels in operation.”
This agreement includes on-site technical assistance for inspection, maintenance, repairs, operations and engineering services. EPS and CoolCo will have access to the HEARS1 emergency hotline, which enables ship-owners and their crews to contact GTT’s experts at any time to respond to operational issues.
Cyril Ducau, chief executive of Eastern Pacific Shipping, said: “EPS relies on innovative and forward-thinking partners, like GTT, to support our energy transition and decarbonisation efforts.
“GTT’s technology will play a key role as EPS rejuvenates its fleet with eco-friendly tonnage and, more importantly, as the world moves towards cleaner energy solutions.”
