Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries is contesting legal action in Nigeria relating to a new Total FPSO.

It said construction of the 200,000-bpd Egina (built 2018) was “sound and lawful”, Bloomberg reported.

It rejected claims from logistics company Ladol that it had not stuck to local regulations, Bloomberg reported.

Ladol filed a suit against Samsung in Lagos accusing it of a "failure to meet the minimum standards required to qualify for an operating licence.”
