The world’s dominant gas containment system provider for the LNG shipping industry is ready to start selling a new kit. France’s GTT has got all the necessary approvals for its NEXT1 LNG cargo containment system, officially sealed at this week’s Posidonia event in Athens, and the technology is now ready for commercial deployment. GTT NEXT1 technology aims to offer a thermal level of performance equivalent to that of its Mark III Flex+ technology while using two metallic barriers. The use of prefabricated reinforced polyurethane foam panels to support the two membranes provides what GTT believes is the best compromise between thermal and mechanical performance. The secondary barrier is made of Invar, and the design of the first barrier is based on the existing corrugated stainless steel concept, similar to that of the Mark technologies. Philippe Berterottière, chairman and CEO of GTT, stated: “We are proud to present this cutting-edge solution, which combines the best of our proven technologies with new advancements, ensuring optimal performance and improved reliability for the transportation of liquefied natural gas.” googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsFrance Posidonia
