GTT has received an order from Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) concerning the tank design of a new 174,000 m3 LNG carrier, on behalf of a European ship-owner. The delivery of the ship is planned for the fourth quarter of 2020.

GTT’s membrane containment system Mark III Flex has been selected for the design of the tanks.

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

Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT declared: "We are proud of the success achieved by the Mark III Flex technology, now selected to equip almost 90 ships since its launch."
