Japan’s Mitsui & Co is said to have struck a deal with HD Korea Offshore & Shipbuilding Engineering for two midsize gas carriers.
Shipbuilding sources named the trading house as the buyer behind the LPG carrier order that HD KSOE disclosed last week.
In a regulatory filing, the South Korean yard said an “African shipowner” had signed a contract for two LPG ships worth about KRW 186bn ($143m) or $71.5m
