SIGTTO Today
SIGTTO was incorporated as a non-profit making company, registered in Bermuda in October 1979. The objective was to set out to establish a framework of standards and best practice for the then emerging liquefied natural gas business. Originally formed with thirteen members, the society has continued to grow and now has more than one hundred twenty members, which represents nearly all the world’s LNG business and more than half of the global LPG business.
Granted observer status at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 1982, the Society is now acknowledged as the authoritative voice of the liquefied gas shipping and terminal industries. The main purpose is to specify and promote high standards and best practices among all industry members throughout the world, and hence to maintain confidence in the safety of the liquefied gas industries and maintain their acceptance, by society at large, as responsible industrial partners.
