TMC Rises as an Emerging LNG Cargo Tank Manufacturer

Winning the $7 Million Export Tower
[INQ. NO. 2601M01] TMC, a specialized LNG cargo-tank manufacturer, recently received the $7 Million Export Tower at the 62nd Trade Day ceremony.
TMC’s main export products are essential components for LNG carriers – such as membranes, stainless steel corners, and anchor strips.
Founded in December 2001 as a specialized shipbuilding equipment company, TMC is an affiliate of the motor specialist Taehwa Group. It has established and operates molds and automated production systems for membranes, stainless steel corners, and anchor strips — key components of Mark-III type LNG cargo tanks.
Notably, in 2002, TMC received manufacturing process approval and factory approval for membrane sheets from Gaztransport et Technigaz (GTT), earning favorable reviews from leading global LNG carrier ship owners.
Currently, TMC is supplying membranes, manufactured using molds developed using its proprietary technology, to domestic LNG carrier manufacturers such as HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, Samsung Heavy Industries, HD Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries, and Korea Carbon.

A spokesperson for the company explained, “Although our export volumes are small compared to large corporations that export large quantities, we feel a sense of fulfillment and pride in exporting essential products for LNG carriers. We will continue to strive to provide the highest level of satisfaction to domestic and international shipowners through continuous research and development.”
Meanwhile, TMC has established and operates an automated production line to keep pace with the global trend toward high-insulation efficiency of cargo holds in LNG carriers. Furthermore, TMC has developed and completed prototypes of a 760-liter liquid hydrogen fuel tank and a 400-liter liquid hydrogen recon vessel.
Even today, TMC is making technological advances with its thorough craftsmanship, and is proud to be a world-class company that produces the best products for customer satisfaction.
