South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries said it has secured an order to build two liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers.
Samsung said in a stock exchange announcement it would build the vessels for an Oceania-based owner.
The yard did not reveal the name of the company behind the order.
Moreover, the contract has a price tag of 417 billion won ($375 million), the shipbuilder said.
Samsung added it would deliver the ships by July 2024.
Including the newest contract, Samsung won orders more than $5.4 billion worth so far this year.
Worth mentioning here, brokers have earlier this month reported that NYK has ordered four 170,000-cbm LNG carriers at Samsung for delivery in 2024.
According to brokers, these vessels would go on charter to France’s TotalEnergies.
