Japanese shipowner Mitsui OSK Lines has returned to Samsung Heavy Industries with an order for one more LNG carrier.
In an exchange announcement last week, the South Korean shipbuilder said it had received the order from an Asian owner without naming the company behind the vessels.
Brokers have placed MOL behind the deal worth around $260m. The company has a large LNG orderbook spread between Chinese and South Korean shipyards, including Samsung which has raked in $6.6bn in orders this year.
The latest 174,000 cu m unit should deliver in September 2026.
