Korean shipyard Samsung Heavy Industries said Friday it has bagged a 227.5 billion-won ($172 million) order to build two crude carriers for an Oceanian shipper.
The crude carriers will be delivered to the undisclosed shipping company in stages by February 2026, Samsung Heavy said in a regulatory filing.
So far this year, Samsung Heavy has clinched orders worth $2.7 billion to construct seven ships, or 28 percent of its 2023 target of $9.5 billion.
The orders break down into four liquefied natural gas carriers, two crude carriers and one floating liquefied natural gas facility.
Samsung Heavy is the shipbuilding arm of Korea's top family-controlled conglomerate, Samsung Group, whose marquee unit is Samsung Electronics. (Yonhap)
