It secured two liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers from a shipping company in Bermuda for $500 million (about 727.2 billion won) and two very large ethane carriers from a shipping company in Asia for $300 million (about 430.9 billion won). It signed a contract with a shipowner in Liberia for one crude oil carrier for $100 million (about 142.5 billion won). Samsung Heavy Industries said it secured not only its mainstay LNG carriers but also very large ethane carriers and crude oil carriers through a diversified order portfolio strategy. As of the 28th, Samsung Heavy Industries’ accumulated order backlog stands at 134 ships, $28.7 billion (40.9233 trillion won). A Samsung Heavy Industries official said, “With demand for LNG carriers remaining solid this year and large-scale offshore facility orders such as Coral and Delfin FLNG (floating liquefied natural gas production facilities) scheduled, we will continue a selective order strategy focused on profitability.” Source: ChosunBiz 2026-01-30 hellenicshippingnews... window.___gcfg = {lang: 'en-US'}; (function(w, d, s) { function go(){ var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0], load = function(url, id) { if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;} js = d.createElement(s); js.src = url; js.id = id; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }; load('//connect.facebook.net/en/all.js#xfbml=1', 'fbjssdk'); load('https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js', 'gplus1js'); load('//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js', 'tweetjs'); } if (w.addEventListener) { w.addEventListener("load", go, false); } else if (w.attachEvent) { w.attachEvent("onload",go); } }(window, document, 'script')); tweet Share
