Hyundai Heavy Industries rang in the new year with a VLGC newbuilding contract from a domestic shipping company.
The world’s largest shipbuilder started 2020 by winning a single 84,000-cbm vessel order from South Korean LPG shipowner KSS Line.
A KSS official confirmed the deal, adding that HHI is slated to deliver the vessel in April 2021.
The contract brings the total number of VLGC newbuildings that KSS has on order at HHI to four.
