Samsung Heavy Industries said Friday it has won an order for one liquefied natural gas carrier from an Oceania-based shipping company for 377.9 billion won.

The vessel is scheduled for delivery by April 2029.

The shipbuilder said its year-to-date orders total 12 vessels worth $2.4 billion, reaching 17% of its $13.9 billion annual target. The tally includes four LNG carriers, two ethane carriers, two container ships and four crude oil carriers.

A company official said Samsung Heavy is maintaining a selective order strategy focused on high value-added ships while responding flexibly to changes in market conditions.
