GTT signs major contract for smart shipping solution

French LNG containment specialist GTT has signed a contract for its smart shipping solution GTT Digital to equip more than thirty vessels of an LNG shipment company within two years.

GTT said in a statement it signed a major contract with a major player in the shipment of LNG. This contract includes the deployment of sensors, automatic data collection systems, and intelligent software to manage and optimise the energy and environmental performance of the vessels.

The contract also provides periodic consulting support of GTT Digital’s experts to perform customised data analysis and produce operational reporting.
