Korea's DSME has confirmed an order for an LNG carrier from a John Angelicoussis company.

It said the 173,400-cbm vessel will be handed over to Maran Gas Maritime by the second half of 2020.

It did not reveal a price, but said it has received $3.2bn worth of contracts for 26 vessels so far this year.

TradeWinds reported during Posidonia that Angelicoussis had ordered a second apparently speculative FSRU at DSME as well as a conventional LNG carrier.
