South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries has awarded French engineering firm GTT with a contract to design Ammonia-ready LNG fuel tanks for five 15,000 TEU containerships.
The containerships on order for Hong Kong-based Seaspan Corporation for charter by ZIM.
GTT says each tank will have capacity of 12,000 cubic meters of LNG fuel and will be fitted with the company’s Mark III membrane containment system. Interestingly, the tanks will also be designed for future compatibility with ammonia fuel, giving Seaspan and Zim “greater operational flexibility” for adapting to changes in environmental regulations.
