GTT to design the tanks of eight new LNG carriers

Each new vessel will offer a capacity of 174 000 m3 and will be fitted with the Mark III Flex technology.

Four of these LNG carriers will be built by HHI: two on behalf of an Asian ship-owner and two on behalf of a European ship-owner. The other four carriers will be built by HSHI on behalf of another European ship-owner.

The deliveries are expected during 2H22.

Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT, stated: “These eight last orders confirm the dynamism of the market observed throughout this year. This brings the number of LNG carrier orders obtained in 2019 to 57, which is a record year for GTT and illustrates the partnership of excellence that we have with the shipyards of the Hyundai Group.”
