Samsung Heavy Industries said on the 23rd that it signed a contract with a shipping company in Oceania for two liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers for 770.1 billion won.
Following on the 20th, it consecutively won orders for three LNG carriers.
As a result, Samsung Heavy Industries' cumulative orders this year stand at a total of 14 ships worth $2.9 billion, achieving 21% of the annual order target of $13.9 billion.
By ship type, they are six LNG carriers, two ethane carriers, two container ships, and four crude oil carriers.
A Samsung Heavy Industries official said, "Despite changes in the international landscape, global shipping companies are steadily placing orders for LNG carriers," and added, "Samsung Heavy Industries has advanced technology across the entire LNG value chain, and we will continue to focus on selective orders centered on high value-added products such as eco-friendly ships and floating liquefied natural gas production facilities (FLNG)."
