LNG

A study involving UK maritime classification society Lloyd’s Register, Shell International Trading and Shipping Co. and French liquefied natural gas storage technology company GGT Group has concluded that inspection intervals for LNG carrier membrane tanks could be safely extended due to monitoring technology and predictive maintenance.

Bureau Veritas, the French classification society, said it issued a list of approvals to liquefied natural gas maritime storage company Gaztransport and Technigaz (GTT) for its latest containment systems and technology applications.
