France’s GTT has secured a new tank design order from Chinese shipbuilder Hudong-Zhonghua for five MISC’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers.

GTT announced in a statement that it secured the order in the second quarter of 2026.

The French firm said that Hudong-Zhonghua would build the 174,000-cbm LNG carriers for Malaysia’s MISC, a unit of Petronas.

Moreover, the vessels’ cryogenic tanks will be fitted with GTT’s NO96 Super+ membrane containment system.

Delivery of the vessels is expected between 2029 and 2030, GTT added.

MISC first ordered three LNG carriers from Hudong-Zhonghua in January this year, and subsequently added two more vessels in March.

These five LNG carriers will serve Petronas under 20-year charter deals.

GTT continues to add new orders after it received orders for 29 LNG carriers, two very large ethane carriers, and one LNG storage tank in the first quarter of this year, while its revenue rose 1 percent compared to the same period last year.

The company said the 32 orders received in the first quarter of 2026 mark its second-best first-quarter commercial performance after 2022.
