"GTT is committed to providing the industry with high performance containment systems, especially in terms of thermal efficiency and reduced Boil-Off Rate. It is one of the key areas of focus of our innovation teams and this will be the focus of the 5th issue of GTT Inside.
Two initiatives are highlighted here. Both are intended to meet the two main expectations of our final customers. The first concerns the introduction of stringent quality standards for new generation polyurethane foams, so as to secure repeatable thermal conductivity and improved BOR. The second deals with the phenomena that drive boil-off gas generation in actual conditions. Here, our new modeling approaches will improve prediction accuracy and hence the operational performance of vessels at sea. Innovative designs obviously remain a priority in order to offer enhanced performance. In this area, you will read here how we are entering the final development stages of the latest GTT technologies with the major Korean shipyards. Thanks to this close industrial cooperation, we are preparing the first releases of the new Mark V and NO96 MAX technologies."  

Julien Burdeau , Innovation Director
