Selected shipbuilders this week submitted revised offers to Middle East producer Qatargas on its 80-vessel LNG carrier newbuilding requirement worth more than $15bn.
TradeWinds understands documentation was due in from South Korea’s big three shipbuilders — Hyundai Heavy Industries, DSME and Samsung Heavy Industries — as well as Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) in China.
Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries had initially expressed interest in participating but is no longer involved in the process.
