The container vessels feature GTT’s membrane technology for the LNG fuel tanks. Each LNG fuel tank will be fitted with the Mark III membrane containment technology and include features to facilitate a potential conversion of these vessels to ammonia fuel. The delivery of the four vessels is scheduled for each quarter of 2025.
