A fleet of membrane-type small-scale LNG carriers has been in service for decades, joined since some years by a fleet of mid-scale LNG carriers as well as LNG bunker vessels.
Strong of 60+ years’ experience, GTT proposes new concepts of small and mid-scale LNG carriers & bunker vessels to owners and shipyards.
The designs are particularly well adapted for:
For specific constraints such as shallow draft or ballast-water-free requests, GTT membrane technologies offer excellent solutions with highest cargo volumes.
Ships equipped with GTT technologies show the highest thermal performance, maintaining the LNG at the coldest temperature at sea and increasing operators’ competitive advantage.
All well-known GTT membrane advantages are incorporated, such as the low and guaranteed Boil-Off-Rate.
The best ratio of Cargo-volume vs Gross-tonnage leads to economic vessels and excellent manoeuvring performances.
Any cargo capacity may be achieved and, in general, all filling levels are obtained without restrictions.
Cargo-tank design pressure is normally proposed at 0.7 barg, as per IGC. Higher pressure can be investigated on request.
GTT membrane systems are available for any propulsion system.
Operational safety is increased in restricted channels & harbours due to more compact design.
Full double-hull (bottom, side and deck)
Suitable for multigas application
