 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 ...

GTT received an order for two LNGCs which add to the already strong third quarter 2014 order book, and which will be built by the Korean shipbuilder DSME

GTT announced an AIP (Approval In Principal) from Bureau Veritas (BV) for its bunker vessel, with an especially cost effective design

GTT announced the signing of an agreement with Conrad Shipyard for the future production of LNG membrane tanks using GTT's technology

DNV GL, GTT, Hanjin join forces to develop a gas fuelled large container vessel with membrane tanks Hanjin, GTT and DNV GL have signed an agreement to jointly investigate and to develop a gas fuelled large container vessel concept equipped with membrane fuel tanks. The project partners presented the Joint Development Project (JDP) as part of the DNV GL Forum at SMM 2014 in Hamburg, the world's leading maritime trade fair.The JDP partners will work together to develop a concept for sailing long distances on LNG by using technologies which are either well proven technologies (containment for LNG as cargo) or already deployed in the market (dual fuel low speed two stroke engines) and the associated systems.The concept study focusses on a 16300 TEU Container vessel designed by Hanjin Shipyard, sailing from Asia to Europe. Such a profile would mean that the vessel has to pass, at least in Europe, through a Sulfur Emission Control Area (SECA), and therefore comply with the upcoming emission limitations related to sulfur.Left to Right: Jun-Keun Choi, Senior Design Engineer Hanjin Heavy Industries, Benjamin Scholz, DNV GL Maritime Ship Type Expert of Gas Carriers, Arthur Barret, LNG Bunkering Program Director, GTT, at the presentation at ...
