A Historic First for Greek Shipping: Congratulations to Maran Gas and Skaramangas Shipyards<\/h2>\n

The \u201cMaran Gas Amphipolis\u201d becomes the first LNG carrier ever repaired at a Greek shipyard \u2014 a milestone for Greek ship repair, sealed with GTT certification. Roussakis Supplies salutes an achievement that changes the map.<\/em><\/p>\n

November 2026 will be remembered as a turning point for Greek ship repair. The LNG carrier \u201cMaran Gas Amphipolis\u201d \u2014 owned by Maran Gas Maritime Inc. of the Angelicoussis Group \u2014 successfully completed its dry-docking, repair works and Special Survey at Skaramangas Shipyards, becoming the first LNG carrier ever repaired at a Greek shipyard.<\/p>\n

The project included the nitrogen (N\u2082) inerting of an LNG cargo tank \u2014 one of the most specialised and safety-critical operations in the industry. At the same time, Skaramangas Shipyards announced its certification by GTT (Gaztransport & Technigaz) as a GTT Approved Repair Yard, officially placing Greece on the global map of LNG repair.<\/p>\n

Proud of our clients \u2014 proud of Greek shipping<\/h3>\n

At Roussakis Supplies, this milestone has special meaning. We are deeply proud of our clients \u2014 Maran Gas and the Angelicoussis Group, operators of one of the world\u2019s most valuable LNG fleets, and Skaramangas Shipyards, who proved that Greek ship repair can deliver at the highest international standard.<\/p>\n

Their achievement is an achievement for the whole of Greek shipping: it shows that the know-how, the infrastructure and the ambition to handle the most demanding vessel types now exist at home.<\/p>\n

Why this milestone matters<\/h3>\n

Until now, LNG and LPG operators in the Eastern Mediterranean had very limited options for gas-related dockings \u2014 slow to arrange, often unavailable in neighbouring countries. With a GTT-approved repair yard now operating in Greece and the world\u2019s leading LNG fleet in Greek hands, the map is changing:<\/p>\n
