GTT will design the tanks of the six vessels which will offer a cargo capacity 174,000 cubic metres. They will be fitted with the Mark III Flex membrane containment system, a technology developed by GTT.

HHI will build four of these LNGCs. Two are for an Asian ship-owner and two are for a European ship-owner.
