GTT wins order from Hyundai Heavy for FSRU owned by Höegh LNG
GTT, a world leader in the design of membrane containment systems for the maritime transportation and storage of LNG, announced the order of a new FSRU (floating storage and regasification unit) to be built by the Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries.
The regasification unit is expected to be delivered in 2017 and will be built with the proven Mark III technology.
The cargo tanks will be equipped with an optimized containment system configuration to allow all partial filling ability.
This FSRU will be the fifth one in the series at Hyundai and the seventh one in total owned by the Norwegian company Höegh LNG. All are equipped with GTT membranes.
The order, received in November, highlights the importance of the partnership between Hyundai and GTT and the Höegh LNG's trust in membrane technologies, according to project officials.
"We are pleased to further strengthen our relations with our Korean partner HHI and with Höegh LNG while noting that our technologies are once more recognized by the LNG industry," said Philippe Berterottière, CEO of GTT.
