New cheaper, more efficient three-tank LNG carrier concept proposed by GTT

Containment system designer GTT has unveiled a new LNG carrier design with three cargo tanks instead of four, which could offer a lower cargo boil-off rate while reducing newbuilding costs.

The French technology, a specialist in membrane containment systems, said on Tuesday that it has secured approvals in principle from classification societies DNV and Bureau Veritas for the new LNG carrier concept.
