Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) has received an order from Samsung Heavy Industries for the tank design of a new liquefied natural gas carrier for an Asian shipowner.

The order was booked in the first quarter of 2026. Under the assignment, GTT will design the vessel’s cryogenic tanks with a total capacity of 174,000 cbm.

The tanks will be fitted with GTT’s Mark III Flex membrane containment system. The vessel is expected to be delivered in 2029.

The latest order came weeks after GTT obtained tank design jobs for four liquefied natural gas carriers at China’s Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard.
