The contract is worth KRW114.9bn (US$104.1m), according to the shipbuilder's filing to the Korea Stock Exchange.

Hanjin Heavy did not disclose the identity of the client behind the order, saying only that the shipowner is from Southeast Asia.

The duo will be built at Hanjin Heavy's Yeongdo Shipyard.
