SEOUL, March 20 (AJP) - Samsung Heavy Industries has won an order for one liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier from an Oceania-based shipping company, the shipbuilder said on Friday.
The order, worth 377.9 billion won (or about $252 million), is scheduled for delivery by April 2029.
The deal brings the shipbuilder's cumulative orders for this year to 12 vessels worth $2.4 billion, reaching 17 percent of its annual target of $13.9 billion.
They consist of four LNG carriers, two ethane carriers, two container ships, and four crude oil tankers.
"We are taking a strategic approach to securing orders for highly profitable ships, while also responding flexibly to changes in market conditions," a Samsung Heavy spokesman said.
