Mitsui OSK Lines has been linked to an order for a single LNG carrier newbuilding that was recently announced by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering.

Shipbuilding sources have pointed to MOL, claiming it to be the “Oceania owner” that DSME said had ordered a 174,000-cbm gas carrier on 7 April.

The Okpo-based shipbuilder said the LNG tanker was contracted at KRW 339.6bn
