Braemar Technical Services has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with General Dynamics[ds_preview] Nassco to market a new, flat plate technology, a LNG containment system developed by General Dynamics. The system is a Type B tank designed to overcome the issues associated with partial filling and sloshing. The system is built off hull and allows significant reductions in LNG carrier building time. The system is fully scalable and as such will be developed for all LNG markets including small scale units, LNG bunker vessels, LNG FPSO, LNG FSRU and LNG FSU, barges and small-scale land-based tanks. »Our technology is designed to address several operational and shipbuilding constraints of existing LNG tank technologies«, said Kevin Graney, General Dynamics Nassco’s Vice President.
Approval in principal has been obtained from both Lloyd‘s Register and the American Bureau of Shipping.
