The global LNG market continues to expand, with new ship orders and deliveries on the horizon. One notable development is the recent order received by GTT for the tank design of four new LNG carriers from Jiangnan Shipyard on behalf of Shandong Marine Energy. This order underscores the growing importance of efficient and reliable cryogenic tanks in modern LNG vessels.
GTT's Mark III Flex membrane containment system will be fitted into each of the four new LNG carriers, offering a total capacity of 175,000m³ per tank. The use of this technology is expected to enhance the overall safety and efficiency of the vessels, making them more competitive in the market.
The delivery of these vessels is scheduled between the third quarter of 2028 and the fourth quarter of 2029, providing a significant boost to Shandong Marine Energy's LNG fleet. This order also highlights GTT's position as a leading provider of tank design solutions for the LNG industry.
Shandong Marine Energy's decision to partner with Jiangnan Shipyard and GTT underscores the importance of collaboration in driving innovation and efficiency in the maritime sector. The use of advanced technologies like GTT's Mark III Flex membrane containment system is expected to play a key role in reducing emissions and operating costs for LNG carriers.
The increasing demand for LNG carriers has led to significant investments in new shipbuilding facilities and technologies. GTT's order from Jiangnan Shipyard demonstrates the company's commitment to supporting this growth, while also driving innovation in tank design.
GTT's Mark III Flex membrane containment system is designed to provide enhanced safety and efficiency features, including improved thermal insulation and reduced maintenance requirements.
