South Korean shipyard Hyundai Heavy Industries is being linked to plans for a potentially large LNG carrier order backed by US shale gas interests.
LNG industry sources were alive with talk this week that discussions are in play for berths that would place nine LNG ships at HHI and a further trio at sister facility Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries.
Those watching the business closely say hull numbers have been pencilled in for vessels, and talks held with key equipment suppliers.
