This month, Samsung Heavy Industries has recorded a total of six orders, including one LNG floating storage and regasification unit (LNG-FSRU) and five LNG carriers, amounting to 2.36 trillion won. In the LNG carrier sector, the company has already surpassed last year's total of 11 vessels before the end of the first half.
A Samsung Heavy Industries official stated, "As geopolitical instability in the Middle East continues, the importance of energy security and supply chain diversification is increasing, leading to a growing demand for high-efficiency LNG carriers. We will actively respond to customer needs based on our proven capabilities and quality competitiveness in LNG carrier construction to maintain our order momentum."
Additionally, Samsung Heavy Industries participated in the Data Center World (DCW 2026) event held in Washington, D.C., in April to address the rising demand for data center infrastructure. At the event, the company obtained conceptual design certification for a 50MW floating data center (FDC) from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Lloyd's Register (LR), laying the groundwork for its entry into the global market with its self-developed floating data center.
