The project will explore how hybrid-electric propulsion and GTT NEXT1®cargo containment system technology could support potential improvements in LNG transport efficiency. Lloyd’s Register (LR), Shell and GTT have launched a Joint Development Project (JDP) to develop a conceptual 200,000m³ LNG carrier combining hybrid-electric propulsion with GTT NEXT1® cargo containment technology.

Lloyd’s Register (LR), Shell, and GTT have launched a Joint Development Project (JDP) to explore the feasibility of a hybrid-electric propulsion system and GTT NEXT1® cargo containment technology in a 200,000m³ LNG carrier. The aim of the project is to assess the potential for improved cargo efficiency, operational flexibility, and lower emissions in future LNG carrier designs.
The partners will focus on the technical requirements and safety verification of the hybrid-electric propulsion system, as well as the commercial evaluation of the vessel from a total cost of ownership (TCO) perspective. The project will also establish technical requirements and guidance for hybrid-electric propulsion in LNG carrier applications, contributing to the development of technical foundations that could support further assessment of future LNG carrier concepts.
