South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has secured a contract for the construction of four liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers.

The order has been placed by an undisclosed shipowner from the Bermuda region. The price tag for the contract is KRW 971.3 billion (around $825 million), the shipbuilder revealed in its stock exchange filing.

The company added that the ships are scheduled for delivery by the end of 2024, but did not disclose any further information.

Last week, the shipyard scored an order for a new series of four LNG carriers from Danish shipowner Celsius Tankers.
