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.

French LNG storage tank designer GTT has obtained approval from the France-based maritime classification society Bureau Veritas related to the use of a digital solution for sloshing activity assessments in the tanks of LNG carriers.
