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.
