- The two vessels, each with a capacity of 15,600 containers, will be equipped with LNG tanks, each holding up to 12,800 m3 of LNG used as fuel.
- Moreover, GTT will provide training for the crews, supported by its proprietary G-Sim® training simulator, which replicates the future LNG operations of the vessels.
- GTT will also offer its HEARS® emergency response service with 24/7 technical assistance.
GTT has been chosen by its partner the Korean shipyard Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries (HSHI) to equip two liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueled container vessels with its membrane containment technology as reported by GTT.

Vessels deliveries are scheduled to occur between the fourth quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024.
LNG carrier tank design
The tanks for a liquefied natural gas carrier (LNGC) purchased by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) on behalf of an undisclosed Asian shipowner will be designed and built by GTT, a specialist in containment systems.
In the 174,000m3 vessel tanks, the GTT NO96 GW membrane containment system will be installed.
This is a fully redundant membrane and the insulating system powered by the ship’s propulsion system.
