Samsung Heavy Industries said on the 20th that it won an order for one liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier from a shipping company in Oceania for 368 billion won. The vessel will be delivered by the end of May 2028.
With this contract, Samsung Heavy Industries said it has secured a total of eight ships this year, worth $1.9 billion (about 2.755 trillion won), achieving 14% of its annual order target of $13.9 billion (about 20.159 trillion won). By ship type, the tally includes three LNG carriers, two ethane carriers, two container ships, and one crude oil tanker.
A Samsung Heavy Industries official said, "The ordering momentum for LNG carriers has been continuing smoothly since the beginning of the year," adding, "We plan to maintain a selective order policy focused on high value-added vessels."
