Two Korean shipowners are behind STX Offshore & Shipbuilding's first new order in more than a year.

A deal was announced last week for three product ships, plus an option, at the restructuring yard.

Brokers said Sambong Corp is taking delivery of one ship in November 2018, while Woolim Shipping will add two others in January and March 2019.

The price of the 11,200-dwt tankers have not been given.
