Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering will instead build an LNG carrier for almost half of the original price, according to a stock exchange filling on Friday.
The revised deal has a price tag of about 226 billion won ($202 million), compared to 410.6 billion won ($368 million) in the original order.
DSME said that it would receive compensation for the costs related to the construction of the FSRU if the investment decision falls through.
