DSME is expected to supply the carrier to the chemical gas transportation company by Q4 2023. The carrier will be built at the Okpo Shipyard.

Eventually, the ship will enter a long-term charter contract with Spanish energy company Repsol, which may reportedly be Hyundai LNG Shipping’s first contract with a European shipper.

Last month, DSME secured an order to deliver two dual-fuel Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGC) to Hyundai LNG Shipping.

The combined value of the contract stood at around $166.5m (KRW184.5bn).
