GTT to supply more Tianjin LNG tanks
French LNG engineering group GTT said on March 24 it had won an order from China Huanqiu Contracting and Engineering for the design of four very large membrane full containment LNG storage tanks.
The 220,000-m3 tanks will be deployed at Beijing Gas Group (BGG)'s Tianjin Nangang LNG terminal in northeast China as part of the second stage of the facility's development, adding to the four that will be fitted in the first stage. A further two will be built in the third phase.

BGG got approval from the government to build the facility, which will import up to 5mn metric tons/year of LNG, in early 2020.
The tanks will be fitted with GTT's GST technology and will be delivered to Tianjin in the third quarter of 2023. The French company won a contract for two other tanks at Tianjin in June 2020. The latest order was made under a cooperation agreement in reached with BGG in March, envisaging the supply of an additional six tanks.
