The order, worth 400.1 billion Korean won (about US$290 million), is scheduled for delivery by February 2029.
The deal brings the shipbuilder's cumulative orders for this year to 11 vessels worth $2.1 billion, reaching 15 percent of its annual target of $13.9 billion.
By ship type, the orders consist of three liquefied natural gas carriers, two ethane carriers, two container ships, and four crude oil tankers.
"With an order backlog of 137 ships worth $29.5 billion, we will continue to focus on profitability in securing new projects," a company spokesman said.
