GTT receives tank orders for two LNGCs
The orders were received in June and GTT will design the tanks of the vessels, which will each offer a cargo capacity of 174,000m3.
The LNGC built by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries, on behalf of a Liberia ship-owner, will be fitted with the Mark III Flex membrane technology and the LNGC built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, on behalf of an Asian ship-owner, will be fitted with the NO96 GW membrane containment system.
This latest order follows an earlier order from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering for a floating storage and regasification unit with a capacity of 263,000m3 on behalf of Mitsui OSK Lines.
Of the order, announced in June 2020 and scheduled for delivery in 2023, Philippe Berterottière, chair and chief executive of GTT, said, “We are delighted to be working with DSME and MOL, two very long-term partners, on this new very large capacity FSRU project.”
