May 18 (LNGJ) - Gaztransport and Technigaz (GTT), the French designer of maritime liquefied natural gas storage and fuel tanks, said it was chosen by its partner, the South Korean shipyard Hyundai Heavy Industries, to design the cryogenic fuel tanks of six LNG-powered containerships.

   “These six vessels will have a capacity of 7,900 containers each and will be equipped with LNG tanks, holding up to 6,000 cubic metres of LNG used as fuel. The tanks will be fitted with the Mark III Flex membrane containment technology, developed by GTT,” said the Paris-based company.
