Babcock LGE secured a new contract with Samsung Heavy Industries to supply cargo handling systems for four 88,000 m³ Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs) that are being built for the shipping company Oceonix in Korea.

Babcock LGE will collaborate with Samsung Heavy Industries throughout the engineering and delivery program to ensure the construction of the four vessels.

Andrew Fitzgerald, Commercial Director at Babcock LGE, stated that "the signing of this new contract with Samsung Heavy Industries reflects the strength of our relationship, the trust Samsung continues to place in our technology and our team, and our shared commitment to delivering successful projects. We look forward to further strengthening this collaboration and supporting future growth together."

Beyond the 2029 delivery, Babcock LGE intends to forge an alliance with Oceonix, which will allow the vessel's gas systems to operate optimally during its operation.
