The compact design of the vessel provides maximum safety in operation and it is capable of servicing in congested areas, such as narrow channels and ports.

For a safe fuel transfer and appropriate boil-off gas (BOG) management solutions, the new bunker will be equipped with the REACH4 bunker mast.

The company is capitalising on its experience in LNG containment by developing solutions along the whole supply chain dedicated to ship bunkering with LNG, GTT stated.

In September, GTT received five AIPs for transportation of liquefied gases other than LNG from ABS, BV, CCS, DNV and LR.
