Achieved 71% of This Year's Order Target Amount
[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Samsung Heavy Industries has secured an order for ships worth 654.5 billion KRW. With this contract, it has achieved 71% of this year's order target of 9.1 billion USD.
Samsung Heavy Industries announced on the 5th that it received an order for three 180,000㎥ class LNG carriers from a shipping company in the Oceania region. These vessels are scheduled to be delivered sequentially by February 2024.
The LNG carriers ordered by Samsung Heavy Industries will be equipped with MAN ES's next-generation LNG dual-fuel engine (ME-GA), which significantly improves fuel efficiency and reduces methane slip.
Additionally, Samsung Heavy Industries' air lubrication system, SAVER Air II, which reduces frictional resistance between the ship and seawater to enhance fuel efficiency, and the economic and safe navigation smart ship solution, SVESSEL, will also be applied.
