French LNG containment specialist GTT has been chosen by French shipping company CMA CGM to design the cryogenic fuel tanks of 12 new LNG-fuelled container vessels.
CMA CGM group is dedicated to accelerating maritime transport’s energy transition with a fleet of 44 LNG-fuelled container ships by 2024.
The 12 new LNG tanks will be fitted with the Mark III membrane containment technology developed by GTT and will be able to load 14,000 cubic metres of LNG.
Mark III technology is a cryogenic liner used to contain LNG at low temperatures during shipping, onshore and offshore storage, at atmospheric pressure.
The vessels will be delivered between the end of 2023 and the third quarter of 2024.
