GTT has secured an order from Samsung Heavy Industries to design the tanks for one 174,000-cbm LNG carrier being built for a Bermudian shipowner. The French LNG containment specialist received the order in the second quarter of 2026. The vessel's cryogenic tanks will be fitted with GTT's Mark III Flex membrane containment system, with delivery scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2028.

GTT, formally Gaztransport & Technigaz, specialises in cryogenic membrane containment systems for liquefied gases; Samsung Heavy Industries is a South Korean shipbuilder active in commercial vessels and offshore units.
