GTT: new large bulk carrier design approved by DNV

(CercleFinance.com) - GTT has announced that it has received approval in principle from the classification society DNV for a new technical solution for a new technical solution applied to liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueled bulk carriers (Newcastlemax type) fitted with GTT membrane tank.


GTT designed the tank up to the supporting steel wall and its integration into the vessel was studied by SDARI, a naval architecture firm.

This approval in principle confirms that the membrane fuel tank solution complies with safety regulations and is technically feasible onboard LNG-fueled Bulk Carriers, GTT said.

This design improvement offers increased autonomy, with no impact on the available cargo space, it added.
