GTT (Gaztransport & Technigaz) has announced the notification of two LNG carriers to be built by Japanese shipbuilder Imabari.

The two LNG carriers, which are set for delivery in 2017, will also include a new MEGI propulsion system.

Elcano, a Spanish ship owner with a long history of operating GTT-designed LNG carriers, will operate the two LNG carriers.

Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT said: “We are very pleased to see Imabari resume building GTT-designed LNG carriers. We have always been impressed by Imabari’s commitment to quality and by their high level of engineering expertise.”
