GTT Upgrades Teekay's Technical Service Agreement

The shipowner Teekay and GTT have recently signed a Technical Service Agreement (TSA) extended with new advisory services. This agreement applies to 23 vessels equipped with the GTT technologies Mark III and NO96. In addition to the assistance and intervention services already included in the standard GTT TSA, Teekay will benefit from the advisory and optimization service HEARS (Hotline Emergency Assistance & Response Service).

"Teekay holds one of the major LNG fleets in the world which will reach about 40 vessels by 2019. To assist our clients in the efficient operations of their LNGCs throughout the years, we provide them solutions to fit their new requirements, particularly by proposing tests which can be performed in operation without dry-docking", commented Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT.

GTT has developed a full range of services to support the operations of LNGC, FLNG, FSRU and other LNG-related structures in order to shorten dry-dock time, assist crews in operation and optimize the vessel economics. With HEARS, GTT experts are available 24/24 and 7/7. They study several emergency scenarios and foresee operational solutions thanks to the extensive and continuously updated GTT vessel database.
