Trafigura is being linked to a pair of midsize, dual-fuel LPG carrier newbuildings that were ordered in South Korea.

In a regulatory filing, Korea Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (KSOE) said it had signed a deal to build two 40,000-cbm LPG carriers.

The company, which is the Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings subsidiary that controls the group's shipyards, did not name the owner.
