Within the contract, the Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) company supposed to design the tank of 14 new LNGCs. Two of the ships are on behalf of a shipowner from Asia, while the other 12 are on behalf of an American shipowner. Similarly, in November 2021, Jiangsu Yangzijiang Shipbuilding launched the LNG-powered MSC Washington, which features a 12,300-cbm type C bi-lobe LNG tank.
