HD Korea Shipbuilding Offshore Engineering said Thursday it has won a 367.4 billion-won ($276 million) order to build four liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carriers for an Asian shipper.
Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, one of HD Korea Shipbuilding's three affiliates, will build the vessels in its shipyard in the port of Ulsan, 299 kilometers southeast of Seoul, HD Korea Shipbuilding said in a regulatory filing.
The product carriers will be delivered to the undisclosed shipping company by March 2026.
So far this year, HD Korea Shipbuilding has garnered $7.98 billion worth of orders to build 68 ships, or 50.7 percent of its yearly order target of $15.74 billion.
