Yeonggwang Wins Engine Room Module Order for Six 200K-Class LNG Carriers
Yeonggwang has won an order for engine room modules for six 200K-class liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers.
According to Yeonggwang on October 15, the contract was signed with a major global shipbuilder. It runs from October 13, 2026, to February 14, 2028, a period of approximately one year and four months.
Engine room modules are key marine equipment manufactured as an integrated package that includes pumps, heat exchangers, piping and other major equipment needed in a vessel's engine room. By carrying out some of the equipment assembly and installation work traditionally performed at shipyards in advance at its own production facilities, Yeonggwang helps shorten shipbuilding times and improve production efficiency.
Drawing on its manufacturing and engineering capabilities built up since 1962, Yeonggwang has established an integrated modular production system for the shipbuilding, marine and plant sectors. In particular, its vertically integrated production system enables the company to handle key processes in-house, from design and the manufacture of core chemical equipment to piping and structural fabrication and assembly, helping shorten production times and strengthen cost competitiveness.
The order is significant because it expands Yeonggwang's order base in the high-value-added marine equipment market, building on its module manufacturing expertise and supply track record in the shipbuilding and marine sectors. The company is expanding its business into next-generation energy infrastructure, including eco-friendly marine equipment, drawing on modularization capabilities proven in its existing shipbuilding and plant businesses.

A Yeonggwang representative said, "This order is a result of the modularization expertise and reliable supply capabilities we have built up over many years in the shipbuilding and marine sectors. We will continue to expand supplies of high-value-added marine equipment, including for LNG carriers, while pursuing new orders in a range of energy infrastructure fields by leveraging the manufacturing and engineering capabilities proven in our existing businesses."
