GTT receives an order from HD Hyundai Samho Co. for the tank design of four new LNG carriers
GTT Wins Order for LNG Carrier Tank Designs from Korean Shipyard
In the third quarter of 2024, GTT, a well-known technology and engineering company, received an order from the Korean shipyard HD Hyundai Samho Co. GTT will design the tanks for four new Liquefied Natural Gas Carriers (LNGC). These ships are being built for a European ship-owner.
Each of these LNG carriers will have tanks that can hold up to 174,000 m³ of liquefied gas. GTT will use its advanced Mark III Flex membrane containment system for these tanks. This system is known for its strength and ability to store liquefied natural gas (LNG) during transport safely.
The delivery of these vessels is expected to happen between the first and fourth quarters of 2027.
