Lloyd’s Register (LR) has awarded Approval in Principle (AiP) for GTT’s ‘NH₃-Ready’ notation of its Mark III containment system on LNG-fuelled vessels and, more widely, for the tanks of LNG carriers (LNGCs), ethane carriers (VLECs), and bunkering vessels.

This AiP demonstrates GTT’s commitment to pioneering sustainable maritime solutions, empowering ship-owners and ship operators to adapt to evolving environmental regulations.

David Colson, Commercial VP of GTT, said: “We are proud to have received this approval from Lloyd’s Register, which once again recognises the flexibility of our technology and our dedication to sustainable innovation. This AiP confirms our ability to support our clients and partners in achieving an effective and responsible energy transition.”

Panos Mitrou, Global Gas Segment Director, Lloyd’s Register said: “This new design shows that by challenging conventional thinking, the maritime industry can effectively transition to cleaner energy sources.

“By enabling LNG tanks to be converted for ammonia use, carbon emissions are reduced through an innovative solution that helps meet evolving environmental regulations.”
