Qatar Petroleum has signed shipbuilding agreements
with South Korea's big three shipyards to
buy more than one-hundred ships in a deal
worth more than 19 billion U.S. dollars,...
the largest LNG ship contract in history.
Industry sources say the three South Korean
companies Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering,
Hyundai Heavy Industries and Samsung Heavy
Industries will construct around 40 ships
each by 2027.
No details on how much each shipbuilder will
be burdened with LNG production,... but the
latest deal is seen as welcome news for an
industry that's been undergoing a torrid time
of late.
