Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) has received an order from Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) to equip two LNG carriers with its NO96 GW containment system.
The DSME shipyard based in Geoje, South Korea, will build the vessels on behalf of a European ship-owner. Deliveries are scheduled in 2019.
This is the first order of LNG carriers from DSME since the beginning of 2017.
Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT, said: "We are proud of the close relationship we have had with DSME for over 30 years, which has led to this new order. With 103 vessels in service and 49 in order at present, DSME is indeed a faithful user of our NO96 solutions."
