Regular phase of cooperation between RS and GazTransport & Technigaz has been successfully completed

As a result of joint research, it was concluded that the membrane cargo containment system can be used on LNG carriers with ice category Arc7, including ships with possibility of moving in stern-first mode.

An analysis of calculating method of the dynamic interaction between LNG carriers and iceberg was also done as part of collaborative research. It was concluded that the proposed method can be the basis for the adoption of technical solutions in the design of such gas carriers.

Currently, cooperation between RS and GTT extends to ensure the safety and efficiency of LNG carriers exploitation in freezing seas.
