GTT Receives Tank Design Order from HSHI

GTT has received a new order from the Korean shipyard Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries (HSHI), concerning the tank design of two LNG carriers of 174,000 m3, on behalf of a European shipowner.

GTT will realize the design of the LNG tanks of both units, which will be fitted with the Mark III Flex membrane containment system, a proven technology developed by GTT. The delivery of the ships is planned during the first semester of 2021.

Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT, declared: "We are delighted to receive these two new orders from HSHI which takes the number of current orders from HSHI up to eight and further illustrates the industry's confidence in our technologies."
