Gaslog’s New LNGC to Feature Mark V Technology
Following Samsung Heavy Industries’ (SHI) order announced last October 11, 2016, the new GTT's Mark V technology is confirmed as the technology to equip the new LNG carrier ordered by the European ship-owner Gaslog. The vessel will be built at SHI's shipyard in Goeje Island. Delivery is scheduled in 2019. “Gaslog's choice of our new membrane containment system highlights the confidence of our partners in our innovations,” commented Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT. “We are constantly striving to enhance the performances of our systems. Mark V offers an unrivalled thermal efficiency. This system, entirely designed by GTT, reduces the guaranteed daily boil-off rate of LNG to 0.07 percent of the tank volume per day, thus generating important savings for the charterer.

Optimarin Puts Performance to the Test with DNV
Optimarin has moved to reinforce its market leading position by challenging the integrity of its filter components, through a rigorous program of testing in conjunction with Det Norske Veritas (DNV). The initiative, understood to be unique for a ballast water treatment (BWT) system supplier, saw Optimarin make a substantial investment to put its three leading filter suppliers – Boll & Kirch, Filtersafe and Filtrex - to the test at Goeje Island in South Korea. The motivation was simple; to challenge, and ultimately demonstrate, the reliability of this most crucial BWT system component (giving potential and existing customers real peace of mind), while also feeding the test results back into the Optimarin and individual supplier development teams in a drive for ever-greater performance.
