GTT announces it has received at the end of March, an order from the South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) for the design of the LNG tanks of two LNG carriers (LNGC).
Each offering a capacity of 173,400m3, these units will be built at DSME's shipyard in Geoje, Korea, on behalf of a European ship-owner. The tanks will be fitted with the NO96 GW technology.
Their delivery is expected for the first half of 2020.
"We are very pleased to continue our excellent partnership with DSME with these two new orders." commented Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT.
