Al Seer Marine (ASM) has completed the first stage of the expansion of its Commercial Shipping Division, marking a major milestone by reaching a total fleet of 18 vessels in just three years.

In partnership with BGN, one of the fastest-growing energy and commodities trading companies, Al Seer Marine has also completed its dual-fuel VLGC fleet programme through their joint venture ABGC DMCC, said a WAM news agency report.

The delivery of the final two vessels from the 2023 order, Megrez and Mizar, on 31st October and 3rd November 2025, respectively, brings the joint venture’s VLGC fleet to five vessels. This strategic achievement strengthens ABGC DMCC’s role in advancing cleaner and more efficient energy transportation.

This expansion reflects Al Seer Marine’s commitment to global leadership in maritime transport, accelerating revenue growth and reinforcing its position as one of the Middle East’s most diversified fleet owners.

Megrez (86,925 CBM) was built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries at its Sakaide Shipyard in Japan, while Mizar (88,000 CBM) was constructed by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries in Mokpo, South Korea. Both vessels will be managed by Fleet Management Limited, Singapore, ensuring operational excellence aligned with international standards.

Guy Neivens, Chief Executive Officer of Al Seer Marine, said: “The global LPG and LNG energy supply chain is undergoing a fundamental reshaping amid ongoing geopolitical and trade disruptions. This transformation is driving higher demand in the LGC and VLGC carrier segment, which is projected to grow through 2040. Our decision to invest early in a state-of-the-art VLGC fleet has proven both timely and strategically sound.

"The expansion to 18 vessels in just three years is a tremendous achievement and a testament to our ambitious vision. These new vessels reinforce our competitive edge, support sustained returns, and enhance shareholder value, building on our strong first-half 2025 results marked by double-digit revenue growth and solid profitability.”
