Gas tanker operations
The gas tanker fleet has grown considerably since the introduction of the Gas Tanker Committee in 2016. The gas fleet now represents approximately 20% of the INTERTANKO Members’ fleet.
The Gas Tanker Committee (GTC) continues to provide operational support and advice on various gas related issues. In addition, INTERTANKO will provide support on commercial issues affecting all aspects of gas tanker operations and chartering. In doing so, however, INTERTANKO is making a conscious effort to avoid duplication with the work of other gas tanker organizations such as SIGTTO, instead offering co-operation and a collaborative approach wherever possible.
Many of the alternate fuels have low flash point and are gases at ambient temperature. Which have been carried onboard gas ships as cargo. The GTC is utilizing this experience to provide all members with a platform for their decarbonization journey.
