GTT nets tanks order for LNG carrier quartet

French LNG containment systems specialist GTT received two orders from the South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) to design tanks for LNG newbuilds. 

Under the orders, GTT will design and build the tanks for new 174,000 cubic meter LNG carriers.

The company noted in its statement that the orders came for two pairs for European ship-owners, whose names remained undisclosed.

The four units will be equipped with the NO96 GW membrane containment system.

The deliveries are expected by the end of 2020 for the first order and early 2021 for the second one.
