Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has expanded its 2017 orderbook as it confirmed an order for two small-scale LNG from Kogas.

As TradeWinds reported earlier this month, the state energy company is paying around $100m for the 7,500-cbm newbuildings, which will be used to transport LNG from Korea’s Tongyeong to Jeju island.

The two vessels will be delivered in May and December 2019, SHI said in a statement today.
