June 23 (LNGJ) - GTT, the French LNG maritime storage technology company, said it received an order from Hyundai Heavy Industries of South Korea to equip a new LNG carrier with its Mark III Flex containment system. Hyundai's shipyard based in Ulsan will build the 180,000 cubic metres capacity vessel for the Norwegian shipping company Norspan LNG (Knutsen). Delivery is scheduled for 2019. The Knutsen fleet contains 10 large-scale LNG carriers in service and one on order. These LNG carriers are all equipped with GTT membrane containment systems. “It is the second order of this type this year with the HHI shipyard and the shipowner Knutsen,” said Philippe Berterottiere, Chairman and Chief Executive of GTT. “It highlights the excellent relationship we have with these two key players of the maritime industry,” added Berterottiere.
