DNV GL presents Torgy LNG with GASA statement for updated LNG fuel tank design
Torgy LNG’s updated LNG Type A tank design has been granted a General Approval for Ship Application (GASA) by classification society DNV GL. The original design was the first LNG tank based on the IMO A atmospheric design to have been awarded a GASA certificate, the company said in its press release.
Torgy LNG received an GASA statement for a previous design of the LNG tank, but this design has now been modified with a total redesign of materials and geometrical design solutions of the secondary barrier. These modifications have been tested and documented by numerical analysis. The tank design is well suited for larger cargo tanks.
