The company’s year-to-date orders total eight ships worth $1.9 billion, reaching 14% of its annual target of $13.9 billion.
By vessel type, the orders include three LNG carriers, two ethane carriers, two container ships and one crude oil carrier, for a total of eight ships. The tally reflects a $400 million increase tied to a preliminary contract for offshore production facility pre-work that the company disclosed on Feb. 13.
“Since the start of the year, orders for LNG carriers have continued smoothly,” a company official said, adding that Samsung Heavy plans to maintain a selective order strategy focused on high-value ships.
