Six 87,000-cbm vessels under construction at South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) will feature Wartsila kit.
In July, India’s Reliance Industries ordered the VLECs for just over $120m each.
They are due for delivery from 2016 onwards.
Wartsila’s deal includes the process and arrangement engineering, the deck tank and all equipment related to the cargo handling.
It will also construct a purpose-built re-liquefaction plant to handle the C-ethane from the American shale gas.
