GTT has received an order for two new LNGCs (Liquefied Natural Gas Carriers) for Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI). The vessels will be built at Hyundai's shipyard in Ulsan for SK Shipping, a Korean shipowner.

GTT announced its plan to develop and implement a comprehensive LNG training programme for crew of a 2,200 m3 LNG bunker barge, which is currently under construction.

The agreement stipulates that DSME will build a mock-up aiming at validating both the assembly and the cryogenic performance of the membrane containment system, and includes a study on the adaptation of industrial means in order to optimize manufacturing costs.

 GTT, CMA CGM (and its subsidiary CMA Ships) and DNV GL released a technical and feasibility study for a new mega box ship today – the Piston Engine Room Free Efficient Containership PERFECt.The concept vessel is LNG-fuelled, powered by a combined gas and steam turbine, and is electrically driven. Exploring this novel configuration resulted in the partners identifying and analyzing a propulsion concept that has the potential to offer a more efficient, more flexible and greener box ship design than current 20,000 TEU two-stroke diesel engine driven ultra large container vessels.“The shipping community has realized that LNG enables the implementation of new propulsion concepts such as demonstrated by the PERFECt design that can increase a vessel’s efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and therefore offer a commercially interesting solution. I am confident that the utilization of LNG as ship fuel will increase over the next few years”, says Remi Eriksen, Group President and CEO of DNV GL.“The impulse behind this study was our interest in seeing how a modern ultra large container ship design could benefit from utilizing COGAS, which is a system for combined gas and steam turbine power generation,” adds Gerd Würsig, Business Director for LNG-fuelled ships at DNV GL ...

 Bureau Veritas has issued Design Approval for the new Mark V LNG membrane containment system designed by France's GTT. This clears the way for the system to be used in new LNG carriers and FLNGs.The Mark V technology is an optimised version of GTT's Mark III system. It is composed of double insulation with reinforced polyurethane foam. The new system also includes an innovative nickel-steel alloy corrugated secondary membrane and offers a significant improvement in the warranted daily boil off rate.Jean-Francois Segretain, Technical Director, Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore Division, says,"GTT's Mark V system offers considerable benefits for new LNG projects and after rigorous examination we are very happy to award Design Approval to the system. GTT is the world leader in LNG containment and we have a long relationship with them. We look forward to working on the first newbuildings with the Mark V system."Source: Bureau VeritasIn the origin, I was explicit with you propecia before and after has changed my existence. It has become much more fun, and now I have to run. Just as it is improbable to sit.

 Deltamarin, Arista Shipping, ABS and GTT announce Project Forward, a joint development project to equip the dry bulk carriers of the future with LNG propulsion.The project, led by Athens-based bulk carrier owner Arista Shipping, began officially in May this year. The aim is to develop a commercially feasible LNG-powered dry bulk carrier design capable of complying with International Maritime Organization’s Energy Efficiency Design Index 2025 standards, NOx Tier III and Marpol Annex VI SOx emission levels. “Project Forward aims to become a milestone for the shipping industry and in particular for owners and operators of cargoships,” says Arista Shipping Principal Alexander P. Panagopulos. “Owners must decide within the next 5-10 years whether gas as fuel is a practical means of compliance with lower emissions standards and this project will enable all of us to understand its feasibility.”The concept design will be based on the highly-optimised Deltamarin B.Delta design suitable for ships between 82,000 and 210,000dwt. It will employ GTT’s membrane-type LNG tanks for fuel containment.“Compliance with stricter environmental regulations has led owners to consider the potential of using LNG as fuel for cargo vessel newbuildings,” states Deltamarin Managing Director Mika Laurilehto. “There is a clear need to turn this potential ...

 GTT announced that its new containment system Mark V has earned a General Approval from the classification society Lloyd’s Register. This is the second validation for GTT’s latest technology, after Mark V was recently granted a similar General Approval from DNV-GL.The Mark V technology was developed after a number of years of research and development. It is an optimized version of the Mark III system and its sister Mark III Flex. As with the Mark III and Mark III Flex, the Mark V technology is composed of a double insulation with reinforced polyurethane foam. The new system also includes an innovative nickel-steel alloy corrugated secondary membrane and offers significant improvement of the warranted daily boil off rate.Tom Boardley, Lloyd’s Register’s Marine Director said: “This is important news and we are very pleased to have been working with GTT in the ongoing development of their innovative gas containments systems.”Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT declared: “This new milestone in the development of the Mark V system demonstrates the quality of GTT innovation as well as the close relationship established with class and particularly with Lloyd’s Register.”Source & Image Credit: GTTIn the outbreak, I was forthright with you propecia before and ...

  GasLog announced the completion of the LNGreen joint industry project. The LNGreen joint industry project brought together experts from GasLog, DNV GL, GTT and Hyundai Heavy Industries(“HHI”) to develop a state-of-the-art, next-generation, LNG carrier. Each of the project partners contributed their unique know-how and experience to develop the LNG carrier of tomorrow using the latest technology within the bounds of existing shipbuilding methods. The vessel concept has a significantly improved environmental footprint, a higher level of energy efficiency, an improved boil-off rate, and improved cargo capacity. Applying 2-stroke propulsion technology makes the vessels very well suited to future LNG trading patterns. The LNGreen project focused on improving the efficiency and performance of the modern LNG carrier by analyzing actual operational performance data, focusing on further optimization through reassessment of vessel hydrodynamics, machinery and systems configuration. These improvements will lead to greater efficiency and cargo capacity without any compromise to the safety or quality of the vessels. The outcome of the project was a concept design, which is close to 10% more energy efficient than vessels of the same type and size currently being built and with an increased cargo capacity of approximately 5% within the same physical dimensions. GasLog ...

  DNV GL is pleased to announce the completion of the LNGreen joint industry project, which worked to develop a state-of-the-art next-generation LNG carrier. The LNGreen joint industry project brought together experts from DNV GL and industry specialists from GTT, Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and the shipowner GasLog. Each of the project partners contributed their unique know-how and experience, to develop tomorrow’s LNG carrier using the latest technology, within the bounds of existing shipbuilding methods. The vessel concept has a significantly improved environmental footprint, a higher level of energy efficiency, as well as an improved boil-off rate and cargo capacity, making it much better suited to future trading patterns than existing vessels. LNGreen investigated the improvement of efficiency and performance of LNG carriers by considering actual operational conditions and optimisation in terms of hydrodynamics, machinery and system configuration. These developments were based on DNV GL’s integrated systems engineering approach COSSMOS, state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics calculations (CFD), and a containment system design, tailored to a specific operational profile and anticipated trades. Martin Davies, the Project Manager at DNV GL stated that “using enabling computer tools we managed to develop a vessel which is approximately 8% more energy efficient and has increased ...
