GTT Receives 3rd FSRU Order of 2015
GTT, a designer of membrane containment systems for the maritime transportation and storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG), announced it has won a new order for a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) from the Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries.
This new FSRU will be equipped with Mark III technology and is expected to be delivered in 2017.
With this new unit, GTT has recorded its third order of the year for a FSRU, following two orders from another Korean shipbuilder, Hyundai Heavy Industries, in June. GTT's order book now includes eight of these units, one having been delivered in August.
Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT commented, “We are very satisfied of this new success which confirms that GTT's technologies perfectly fit to this market. This order for a FSRU also demonstrates that new importing countries take interest in LNG year after year.”
