Babcock LGE added that the company has also been awarded a contract to supply the cargo handling system and fuel supply system for a pair of mid-size LPG carriers at a Chinese shipyard. The LPG newbuildings are being built on behalf of a European owner. The new vessels will be delivered during 2026 and 2027.

The latest awards follow a successful 2023 for Babcock’s LGE business after winning more than 40 and delivering more than 50 projects. The business secured this record number of new contracts for the design and supply of cargo handling and fuel gas supply systems for marine transportation of LNG, LPG, ethane, ammonia and CO₂, all using in-house developed and patented or patent-pending technology.

“These latest contract wins further build on the existing developments, especially in ammonia shipping, for Babcock’s LGE business and mark an important milestone in our technological approach to fully support the industry’s transition to net zero.”
