French LNG containment specialist GTT has secured a new order from its partner the Korean shipyard Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) for the tank design of two new liquefied natural gas carriers (LNGCs), on behalf of an Asian ship-owner.

GTT will design the tanks of the two vessels, which will each offer a total cargo capacity of 174,000 m3 and will be fitted with the Mark III Flex membrane containment system, developed by GTT.
