  "account": "GTT Energy announces two significant advancements in its GTT Energy business unit, specializing in containment and energy management systems. The first is the launch of the LNG Performance Centre, a comprehensive service ecosystem designed to aid ship-owners and charterers in optimizing LNG carrier fleet performance and cargo management. This innovative platform aims to improve operational performance and unlock new opportunities for value creation.\n\nThe LNG Performance Centre will offer an integrated approach centered around three key pillars: cargo management, voyage optimization, and containment system performance monitoring. It will provide expert advice and seasoned captains available 24/7, complemented by a suite of digital solutions powered by GTT's proprietary data and advanced models. These services will foster a proactive approach to fleet management, assisting in preserving and maximizing cargo value, enhancing operating efficiency, ensuring regulatory compliance, and minimizing environmental impact.\n\nGTT Energy's containment technologies currently power 86% of the global LNG carrier fleet, encompassing nearly 20,000 years of operational experience at sea along with extensive associated data and proprietary thermodynamic models. This initiative further solidifies GTT Energy's commitment to developing services encompassing the entire LNG carrier lifecycle, with an increasing focus on integrating data and analytics across the LNG value chain.\n\nIn addition to the LNG Performance Centre, GTT Energy introduces a next-generation LNG as fuel containment solution tailored for container ships. This solution features a standardized cubic geometry, enabling higher automation during construction, and maximizes cargo space to improve vessel economics. The tank's membrane containment system boasts a higher operating pressure of up to 2 barg, and has recently obtained Approvals in Principle (AiPs) from Lloyd's Register and Bureau Veritas. This innovative tank design meets shore power requirements and environmental regulations, extending holding time during port stays with low or no gas consumption.\n\nFurthermore, this new offering capitalizes on GTT Energy's extensive experience in the cruise ship segment, including tanks with a design pressure of 2 barg that have been operational for over five years. Chief Executive Officer François Michel emphasized the company's ambition to provide greater control and flexibility across customers' operations, thereby enhancing the economic and environmental performance of their fleets.",
