  • Ten ultra-large container vessels of 24,000 TEU each will be equipped with GTT’s advanced Mark III membrane containment technology, ensuring low and guaranteed Boil-Off Rate (BOR) for improved environmental performance.
  • LNG usage as marine fuel significantly reduces harmful emissions, including sulphur oxide, fine particles, nitrous oxide, and CO2, contributing to better air quality and public health.
  • GTT’s comprehensive support includes engineering services, technical assistance, crew training, and digital solutions to monitor and optimize operational efficiency, reducing energy consumption and the vessels’ environmental impact.

The partnership between GTT and Chinese shipyard Yangzijiang marks a significant development in the drive towards cleaner shipping, as they collaborate on designing the fuel tanks for ten ultra-large container vessels fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG), says an article from GTT website.

Cleaner Air and Reduced Emissions  

Chinese shipyard Yangzijiang partners with GTT to design cryogenic fuel tanks for ten ultra-large container vessels fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG). LNG is hailed as an industrial tool to combat air pollution, significantly reducing emissions of harmful pollutants.

Advanced Technology  

The container vessels, each with a capacity of 24,000 TEU, will be equipped with state-of-the-art LNG fuel tanks utilizing GTT’s Mark III membrane containment technology. This technology ensures a low and guaranteed Boil-Off Rate (BOR), enhancing vessel operations and environmental performance.

Comprehensive Support  

GTT goes beyond engineering services, offering comprehensive support throughout the LNG-fueled project. From commissioning and bunkering operations to crew training and emergency response services, GTT ensures a smooth transition to LNG-powered operations.

Optimizing Efficiency

In addition to fuel tanks, GTT fits the vessels with Ascenz Marorka digital solutions. These tools monitor and optimize operational performance, further reducing energy consumption and the vessels’ environmental footprint.
