Samsung Heavy Industries wins KRW 240bn order for build four tankers

SHI won orders for four tanker newbuildings from Norway’s Viken Shipping. The South Korean shipbuilder said Wednesday the deal involved a pair of suezmaxes and two aframax tankers. The vessels are set for delivery in 2018. Options were said to be attached.
 
This latest deal comes two weeks after Samsung clinched a KRW 420bn order for two LNG carriers, marking its first contract in almost a year. Samsung is also set to win more deals valued at a combined KRW 3 trillion, including a FLNG newbuilding for Mozambique.
