[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]GTT has announced a cooperation agreement with South Korean shipbuilder Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) to industrialise its new NO96 Max technology, the latest in its membrane container systems for the transportation and storage of LNG.
The deal, which will also commercialise the system in the coming year, will see DSME build a mock-up aimed at validating both the assembly and the cryogenic performance of the membrane container system and includes a study on the adaptation of industrial means in order to optimise manufacturing costs.
Philippe Berterottière, chairman and CEO of GTT, said: “The development of NO96 Max illustrates the continuous innovation efforts made by GTT in support of a more efficient LNG industry.”
“The agreement shows once again that the partnership we have with DSME is strong and that this shipyard trust our technologies,” he concluded.
The NO96 Max technology is an optimised version of the NO96 system, used in more than 120 vessels to date. The new technology is said to offer significant mechanical and thermal improvements (Boil-Off Rate) and has already received approvals in principal from the main classification societies.
