SCF Group has upped its LNG carrier orderbook at STX Offshore by two LNG carriers.

The Russian shipowner, formerly known as Sovcomflot, is paying the South Korean shipyard nearly 447 won ($398 million) for the duo.

LNG Unlimited and sister paper TradeWinds reported last week that SCF was due to book the order.

The 170,000-cbm vessels are due for delivery by January 2015.
