Our LNG vessels, with the proven reliability of the GTT membrane containment system, boast low construction costs and less fuel consumption, and operate at the highest speed among ships of the same class. Owners can also take advantage of their exceptional maneuverability and ease of maintenance. Equipped with the in-house-developed Integrated Automation System, operators of our LNG vessels are able to control and monitor a variety of tasks, such as loading and unloading, navigating, and ensuring safety. Also, the LNG simulator can further enhance safety by providing forecasts of navigational risk factors and LNG status. DSME has its own manufacturing shops for cargo tank insulation boxes and INVAR steel processing shops. We take great pride in having independently developed and designed all of the automated LNG production facilities, as we believe it leads to lower construction costs and higher quality. In 2005, DSME successfully built and delivered the world's first LNG-RV (Regasification Vessel), and became the first shipbuilder to have an annual production capacity of 14 LNGCs. In the same year, DSME's next-generation-210,000 m3 LNGC was selected as the world standard for that class, and the fact that the company won 9 out of the total 16 orders for LNGCs placed worldwide in that year is yet another testimony to its incomparable strength in technology and production.
