GTT and Cryovision install sloshing prevention system

The SloShield was installed into the LNG carrier, GasLog Singapore, as part of a cooperation agreement signed with the ship-owner GasLog Ltd.

“We are very pleased to cooperate with GasLog, a global leader in the LNG shipping industry, who own a large fleet equipped with GTT technologies,” said Philippe Berterottière, CEO of GTT.

He added: “This agreement also illustrates the importance we place on serving the LNG transportation industry in its operations with a large service offer.”

The agreement also includes an initial phase of observation aimed at demonstrating the SloShield performance, GTT teams will study the relationship between sloshing and the boil-off rate in the tanks. This relationship is yet to have been investigated in an in-depth study with real life data.

Theodoros Katemidis, general manager of newbuilding technology and projects at GasLog, said: “The installation of SloShield on the GasLog Singapore illustrates our desire to continuously monitor and improve our onboard systems.”

“We believe this will further optimize the operations of our vessels and lead to improved efficiencies for GasLog and our customers going forwards,” he concluded.
