Hanwha Ocean Co., the world’s third-largest shipbuilder by order backlog, said it has received an order worth 2.4 trillion won (US$1.8 billion) to build eight liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships, according to an article published on their website.
Hanwha Ocean to build eight LNG carriers
Hanwha Ocean will build eight LNG carriers at its shipyard on Geoje Island, 330 kilometers south of Seoul, for the delivery by January 2028, a company spokesperson said.
The shipbuilder has had an order backlog of $28.1 billion as of December, which will make its shipyard busy over the next three years.
Hanwha Ocean, formerly Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., set sail as the shipbuilding arm of chemical-to-defense industry conglomerate Hanwha Group in May last year.
