Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering of South Korea is on the march by winning two LNG carriers.
Daewoo revealed on October 19 that it booked two 170,000-cbm LNG carriers totalling slightly over $400m from Stena Bulk of Sweden, with delivery by 2014.
The Stena Group-affiliated shipowner entered LNG market earlier this year with three newbuilding LNG carriers from Daewoo. A major shipping company plans to enrich its LNG carriers and make inroads into LNG market.
Meanwhile, including recent newbuilding contract, Daewoo secured a total of 46 pieces, about $12.5bn of ships and offshore facilities year to date.
