Ascenz Marorka, a GTT Group company, has signed a contract with Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding to equip 24 LNG carriers with its Sloshield™ system. This advanced solution is designed to detect and reduce the risks associated with sloshing in LNG cargo tanks.
What is the Sloshield System?
The Sloshield™ system is an advanced digital solution that provides real-time monitoring and predictive analysis to address sloshing risks. Sloshing occurs when the liquid cargo moves within a tank, which can cause significant structural stress. By using this system, ship operators can:
- Preserve cargo integrity by minimizing the movement of the liquefied natural gas.
- Limit structural stress on the vessel’s tanks.
- Optimize operational safety by allowing operators to adjust speed or course to mitigate sloshing.
This contract highlights the successful integration of digital monitoring solutions from Ascenz Marorka with GTT’s established expertise in designing cryogenic containment systems.
Key Players in the Contract
- Ascenz Marorka: A GTT Group company specializing in maritime digitalization and performance monitoring solutions.
- GTT Group: A leader in the design of cryogenic membrane containment systems for the transport of liquefied gas.
- Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding: A major Chinese shipbuilding company and a long-time partner of GTT, responsible for building the new LNG carriers.
