French LNG containment specialist GTT has secured a new order from South Korean shipyard HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) for the tank design of two new LNG carriers.
The order is related to two LNG carriers being built for an undisclosed European shipowner. Each vessel will offer a capacity of 174,000 cubic meters.
GTT will design the tanks that will be fitted with the Mark III Flex membrane containment system.
The vessels are scheduled for delivery between the fourth quarter of 2027 and the first quarter of 2028. Additional details of the order were not revealed.
This is the second order for LNG carriers’ tank design placed by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries at GTT in November 2023.
Since this year, three major South Korean shipbuilders, including HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, have ordered a number of orders for storage tanks for LNG vessels from GTT.
