Bureau Veritas Issues Design Approval For Mark V Containment System
Bureau Veritas has approved the new Mark V LNG membrane containment system designed by GTT. This will open doors for extensive use in new LNG carriers and FLNGs. The new containment system Mark V has also been granted General Approval for Ship Application (GASA) by the classification society DNV-GL.
Features of Mark V technology:
- It is an optimized version of GTT’s Mark III system.
- It is composed of double insulation with reinforced polyurethane foam.
- It includes an innovative nickel-steel alloy corrugated secondary membrane and offers a significant improvement in the warranted daily boil off rate.
Jean-Francois Segretain, Technical Director, Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore Division, says, “GTT’s Mark V system offers considerable benefits for new LNG projects and after rigorous examination we are very happy to award Design Approval to the system. GTT is the world leader in LNG containment and we have a long relationship with them. We look forward to working on the first new buildings with the Mark V system.”
