The MLP was reported in these pages last week to be behind one firm ship at the South Korean shipbuilder, with options for three more.
Teekay LNG confirmed the firm $220m newbuilding in its fourth quarter report today, alongside four options.
It says a charter for the 173,400-cbm vessel will be found prior to its fourth quarter 2018 delivery.
Teekay is a regular customer of DSME, with its expanded orderbook at the yard also including six vessels to serve the Yamal Project.
