GTT Wins Tank Design Order of a New LNG Carrier

French specialist in liquified natural gas (LNG) containment systems Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) has received a new order notification from a Korean shipyard for the tank design of a new 174,000 m3 LNG carrier (LNGC), to be built on behalf of a European ship-owner.

The vessel’s delivery is expected in Q1 2021. The ship-owner’s and shipyard's names are confidential.

The LNG tanks of the vessel will be equipped with the proven Mark III Flex containment system developed by GTT.
