Gas Tanker Committee (GTC)
The Gas Tanker Committee (GTC) is dedicated to the advancement of safe, environmentally conscious, and optimised gas transportation. With a strong focus on influencing its members, stakeholders, and the industry as a whole, the GTC strives to achieve the highest standards in gas transportation practices.
The extensive domain expertise in gas transportation verticals enables the GTC to develop scalable and sustainable solutions with respect to gas transportation.
Through its specialised knowledge in the carriage of gas as cargoes, the GTC offers a vital pragmatic advantage to the wider INTERTANKO membership and the industry for a safe transition and successful adoption of alternate gas fuels.
A core principle of the GTC is fostering collaborative relationships with peer organisations and key stakeholders. By cultivating these partnerships, the GTC can identify and address key issues that impact the interests of its members in a timely manner.
