HD Hyundai Samho’s parent HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering said on Wednesday that the shipbuilder will build the vessels for Sonangol Shipping Holding.
Moreover, the delivery of the LNG carriers is expected to be completed by September 2029.
HD KSOE said the contract is worth 770.2 billion won ($511 million), or approximately $255.5 million per vessel.
The group did not reveal further details.
Earlier this year, HD KSOE said that HD Hyundai Samho will build one LNG carrier for Sonangol for approximately $251 million.
The delivery of this LNG carrier is expected to be completed by June 2028.
In September 2025, LNG Prime reported, citing shipbuilding sources, that Sonangol was looking to order one firm and two optional vessels from South Korean and Chinese yards.
Sonangol has a stake in Angola LNG.
Angola LNG is a joint venture of Chevron, Azule Energy, a joint venture of BP, Eni, Sonangol, and TotalEnergies.
In 2023, Angola LNG shipped its 400th cargo of LNG since the launch of the 5.2 mtpa Soyo plant in 2013.
A fleet of seven 160,000-cbm LNG vessels has been chartered on a long-term basis to transport Angola LNG cargoes to customers around the world.
