HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering has signed a contract to build two LNG-related vessels worth a combined 885 billion won.

The order covers one floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) valued at 492.8 billion won and one LNG carrier valued at 392.2 billion won. Both vessels will be built by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and delivered by the first half of 2029.

An FSRU is a special-purpose vessel that regasifies liquefied natural gas at sea before supplying it to shore.
