GTT bags design contract for cryogenic fuel tanks

Engineering firm GTT said it was chosen by Korean shipyard HJ Shipbuilding & Construction to design the cryogenic fuel tanks of two new liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuelled container vessels. The contract was awarded on behalf of a European ship-owner.

These vessels, each capable of carrying 7,700 containers, will be equipped with an LNG fuel tank with a capacity of 6,100m3. Each LNG fuel tank will be fitted with the Mark III membrane containment technology. Deliveries of the vessels are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2024.
