GTT Secures LNG Carrier Tank Design Contract
Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) has been awarded a contract for the tank design of four new liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers.
Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) has been selected to provide the tank design for four new liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers. This contract underscores the ongoing demand for specialised containment systems within the LNG shipping sector.
The vessels are being constructed for ADNOC Logistics and Services (ADNOC L&S), the maritime logistics and shipping division of ADNOC Group. The order highlights the continued expansion of LNG transport capabilities globally.
The tank design will incorporate GTT's Mark III Flex membrane containment system. This technology is recognised for its efficiency in optimising cargo volume and operational performance for LNG transportation.
Construction of these four new LNG carriers will take place at a Chinese shipyard. This collaboration between international and Asian entities reflects the global nature of shipbuilding and maritime technology partnerships.
Delivery of the vessels is anticipated between 2025 and 2026. This timeline indicates a steady progression in the expansion of the global LNG fleet, supporting future energy supply chains.
