Moreover, the membrane tank containment system is proven and safe, based on experience with LNG, LPG, and ethylene storage, and reduces losses while increasing delivered product.
For example, in January 2024, GTT received two orders for the tank design of two new Liquefied Natural Gas Carriers (LNGC). The first LNGC, with a total capacity of 174,000m3, will be constructed by the South Korean shipyard Hanwha Ocean and will feature the NO96 GW membrane containment system. The delivery of this vessel is scheduled for the third quarter of 2027. The second LNGC, also with a total capacity of 174,000 m3, will be built by the South Korean shipyard Samsung Heavy Industries and will incorporate GTT's Mark III Flex membrane containment system.
Design developments in moss tanks, such as optimizing the tank shape and the emergence of new membrane types, are influencing the LNG storage tank market. These developments, including the introduction of new membrane solutions with different degrees of boil-off gas (BOG) performance, are enhancing the efficiency and performance of LNG carriers. Additionally, the use of independent tanks is gaining traction in the small and medium-sized LNG carrier sector, driven by the developing LNG bunkering market and the need for local redistribution.
For example, in December 2023, NYK Line, Namura Shipbuilding, and Sasebo Heavy Industries collaborated to replace the main propulsion on steam turbine-driven Moss-type LNG carriers with dual-fuel, low-speed diesel engines called X-DF engines. The Moss-type LNG tanks on these carriers are durable and can withstand long-term use, resulting in improved fuel economic performance and efficient use of the ship's resources.
