Wednesday May 26, 2021
Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) has won a contract to build two gas carriers capable of burning LPG as fuel.
The two duel-fuelled gas carriers will be delivered to shipowners from the first half of 2023, KSOE said in a statement on its website on Monday.
KSOE has won the contracts to build 36 of the 59 LPG carriers ordered around the world over the past year, the company said, citing newbuild order data from Clarksons Research.
"As the global economy has entered a recovery phase, inquiries for order receipts are continuing across various ship types," a KSOE official said in the statement.
