France’s GTT strikes new LNG tank deal

French LNG containment specialist GTT said Monday it received an order for the tank design of a new 174,000-cbm liquefied natural gas carrier.

The ship would be built by a Korean shipyard on behalf of a European ship-owner, GTT said without providing any additional information.

The vessel’s delivery is expected in the first half of 2021.

The LNG tanks of the vessel will be equipped with the Mark III Flex containment system developed by GTT.
