Oct 4 (LNGJ) - French maritime LNG tanks technology firm GTT said it received two orders from the South Korean shipyards Samsung Heavy Industries and Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries for designs for two LNG carriers of 174,000 cubic metres capacity.
The Korean-built vessels will be fitted with the Mark III Flex membrane containment system. One carrier will be built at Samsung on behalf of Japanese shipowner NYK Line and will be delivered during the third quarter of 2021.
