        法国液化天然气（LNG）密封专业公司GTT获得其合作伙伴韩国船厂三星重工（Samsung Heavy Industries，简称SHI）订单，为其15艘新型液化天然气运输船（liquefied natural gas carriers，简称LNGCs）设计天然气储罐。

        据GTT公司称，其于2024 年初代表一家“处于领先地位”液化天然气（LNG）公司签下这笔订单。

        GTT公司将为这15艘船舶设计液化天然气储罐，每艘船的容量为174,000立方米，并将安装GTT公司开发的“Mark III Flexmembrane”型密封系统。

        这些船舶计划于2026年第四季度至2028年第四季度进行交付。

        值得注意的是，GTT公司在过去一年里从三星重工（SHI）签得了多笔订单。最近一笔订单是为一艘液化天然气运输船（LNGC）设计储罐。这艘船会由一家日本船东负责建造工作，并计划于2026年第三季度完成交付。

        其他订单包括三星重工（SHI）代表几家国际船东的五艘液化天然气运输新船（LNGCs），以及一家亚洲船东的两艘液化天然气运输新船（LNGCs），选择GTT公司为这些船舶进行储罐设计。

        2023年，双方还合作开发了新型创新性液化天然气运输新船（LNGCs）和集装箱船舶。同年5月，三星重工（SHI）正式公开了“三舱液化天然气运输船（3 Cargo Tank LNGC）”和“环保集装箱船产品（Eco Container Ship）”，并指出其与GTT公司共同开发的“三舱液化天然气运输船（3 Cargo Tank LNGC）”设计方案旨在提高效率，该方案能够使船舶天然气蒸发率提高5%以上。

Samsung Heavy Industries taps GTT for tank design of 15 new LNGCs

French LNG containment specialist GTT has received an order from its partner, the Korean shipyard Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI), for the tank design of 15 new liquefied natural gas carriers (LNGCs).

According to GTT, the order was received in early 2024 on behalf of a “leading” LNG player.

GTT will design the tanks of these 15 vessels, which will each offer a capacity of 174,000 m3 and will be fitted with the Mark III Flexmembrane containment system developed by GTT.

The delivery of the vessels is scheduled between the fourth quarter of 2026 and the fourth quarter of 2028.

To note, over the past year, GTT secured multiple orders from Samsung Heavy Industries, with the most recent one being for the tank design of one LNGC. This vessel will be built on behalf of a Japanese shipowner and its delivery is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026.

Other orders are for tank designs of five new LNGCs, made on behalf of several international shipowners, and two LNGCs on behalf of an Asian shipowner.

In 2023, the two parties also collaborated on the development of new innovative LNG carriers and containerships. In May, SHI unveiled its “3 Cargo Tank LNGC” and “Eco Container Ship” products, noting that the “3 Cargo Tank LNGC” is designed to increase efficiency and that the method makes it possible to improve the boil-off rate by more than 5%. The design method was jointly developed with GTT.
