Trading giant Trafigura has returned to Hyundai Heavy Industries for a pair of VLGC newbuildings worth KRW 197.2bn ($163m).

The trader has confirmed it is the client behind a contract announced earlier this week by the South Korean shipbuilder to build two 90,000-cbm dual-fuel gas tankers.

HHI sister company Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries will construct the pair, which will be the world’s largest.
