法国BV船级社为GTT的新型气体围护系统和液化天然气技术的应用颁发了一系列认可

法国当地时间6月5日，天然气供应链风险管理的领导者Bureau Veritas，向薄膜围护系统和液化天然气技术应用领域的专家GTT（Gaztransport＆Technigaz）颁发了一系列的认可。

BV的专家一直在与GTT合作以认可两种新型的围护系统：Mark IIIFlex +，一种MarkIII?的进化版，具有较低的汽化率（BOR）以及GTT MARS?，一种为LPG运输船开发的可适用于任何尺寸罐体或船体的围护系统。

目前BV已经为一艘6,500立方米的气体燃料驳船（由DSEC和GTT共同开发）颁发了AiP设计原则认可，另一艘180,000立方米的LNG船AiP设计认可正在最后确定阶段。两者都展示了GTT将其超凡气体围护系统技术应用到全船设计中。

附加颁发AiP：

• 液化天然气运输船气包（蒸发液化气）管理的解决方案，符合经修订的IGC规则 ，允许提高灌装限制（超过98％）运行。
• GTT的NO96加压系统进化版，提供增强的维护灵活性和安全性。
• 精简了NO96和MarkIII?系统的冷却功能，以改善液货运营。

BV Marine＆Offshore首席运营官Matthieu de Tugny：“这些认可正在帮助GTT扩大其技术的范围和深度。随着围护系统的日益复杂化和应用的扩大 - 如CMA CGM的带有薄膜罐的大型集装箱船的突破性订单 - 正在推动行业采用和开发天然气运输，LNG作为船用燃料以及支持海上天然气贸易。”

GTT董事长兼首席执行官PhilippeBerterottière表示：“我们非常高兴能够获得BV的AiP认可，我们与BV数十年来保持着非常密切的合作关系。 我们展示了我们最新研发成果的可靠性及其满足客户需求的能力。 我相信这些新的系统和设计将有助于推动航运业发展并降低生态危害。”

BUREAU VERITAS ISSUES RANGE OF APPROVALS FOR GTT’S NEW GAS CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS AND LNG TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS

Paris-La Défense, France, June 05, 2018 – Bureau Veritas, a leader in risk management across the gas supply chain, has issued a broad swathe of approvals to GTT(Gaztransport & Technigaz), expert in membrane containment systems and LNG technology applications.

Bureau Veritas experts have been working with GTT to approve two new containment systems: the Mark III Flex+, an evolution of the Mark III? but with a lower boil-off rate (BOR) and the GTT MARS?, a containment system developed for LPG carriers that is adaptable to any size of tank or ship.

Approval in Principle (AiP) has been provided for a 6,500 cbm bunker barge (jointly developed between DSEC and GTT) and the AiP for the design of an 180,000 cbm LNG carrier is being finalized. Both demonstrate GTT’s move beyond containment technology systems to full ship design.

Additional AiPs have been granted for:

• A solution for vapour pocket management allowing LNG carriers, in compliance with the revised IGC Code, to operate with an increased filling limit (above 98%).
• GTT’s NO96 pressurization system evolution to provide enhanced maintenance flexibility and safety.
• Reduced cooling down features of both the NO96 and Mark III? systems to improve cargo operations.

Matthieu de Tugny, COO, Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore: "These approvals are helping GTT expand the range and depth of their technologies. The increasing sophistication of containment systems and expansion of their application – as in CMA CGM’s breakthrough order for large containerships with membrane tanks –is driving the adoption and development of gas transportation and LNG as a marine fuel as well supporting the marine gas trades."

Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO, GTT: "We are very pleased to be granted these approvals by Bureau Veritas with whom GTT has a very close partnership for decades. We have demonstrated the reliability of our latest developments and their ability to meet the owners’ requirements. I believe these new systems and designs will help the shipping industry to move forward and reduce the ecological footprint."
