Greece \u2013 South Korea: Roussakis Supplies on the New Axis of Global Shipbuilding<\/h2>\n

The launch of Hanwha Ocean\u2019s submarine \u201cSeo Hui\u201d and the presence of ONEX Shipyards & Technologies in South Korea open a new chapter for Greek shipbuilding \u2014 with Roussakis Supplies as the only Greek supplier with direct contacts in South Korea\u2019s shipyards and a proud supplier to ONEX.<\/em><\/p>\n

On November 3, 2026, at Hanwha Ocean\u2019s Okpo shipyard in Geoje, South Korea, the \u201cSeo Hui\u201d \u2014 the second state-of-the-art 3,600-ton KSS-III Batch-II submarine \u2014 was officially launched. A high-level Greek delegation attended the ceremony, including representatives of the Hellenic National Defence General Staff, the Hellenic Navy, the Ambassador of Greece in Seoul, and the President & CEO of ONEX Shipyards & Technologies, Mr. Panos Xenokostas.<\/p>\n

ONEX\u2019s presence seals its strategic cooperation with Hanwha Ocean under Project Trident \u2014 the \u20ac1.35 billion investment plan transferring cutting-edge shipbuilding know-how to the Elefsina and Syros shipyards, based on the trilateral initiative between Greece, the USA and South Korea. Greece is, quite literally, building the Southern Shipbuilding Pillar of Europe.<\/p>\n

Roussakis Supplies: the bridge between two shipbuilding worlds<\/h3>\n

For Roussakis Supplies, this development is not simply a national success \u2014 it is the confirmation of a strategy we have been pursuing for years.<\/p>\n

Roussakis Supplies is today the only Greek marine and industrial supply company with direct contacts and an active network within South Korea\u2019s shipyards. Our Asian footprint \u2014 from China\u2019s ports to Singapore \u2014 allows us to support projects, vessels and crews where the future of global shipbuilding is being built, with the same reliability we deliver in Piraeus and Elefsina.<\/p>\n

\"Athanasios<\/figure>\n

At the same time, we are proud to be a key supplier to ONEX Shipyards & Technologies, supporting the daily needs of the Greek shipyards in welding equipment, industrial consumables, personal protective equipment and technical solutions. The rebirth of Greek shipbuilding runs through strong, dependable supply chains \u2014 and that is where Roussakis Supplies leads.<\/p>\n

Why the Greece\u2013Korea connection changes the game<\/h3>\n
\"Flags<\/figure>\n

South Korea is one of the world\u2019s leading shipbuilding powers, with Hanwha Ocean at the forefront of high-technology construction \u2014 from submarines and naval vessels to LNG carriers. Transferring this know-how to Greece means:<\/p>\n
