French engineering company licensing membrane containment technology for LNG carriers and storage tanks.
French engineering company licensing membrane containment technology for LNG carriers and storage tanks.
Does not build ships: shipyards pay it a licence fee for each LNG carrier built with its membrane tank design, with the amount paid in stages over the build, so revenue follows new-ship orders a year or two before they show in earnings. Services and digital products for operating vessels bring a smaller, steadier income.
Moat: wide (IP / patents, process know-how). Patented membrane technology used in most of the world's LNG carriers, a near-monopoly niche.
