        韩国最大的造船企业韩国造船海洋公司(Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering, KSOE)周二表示，该公司获得了今年的第一份合同，价值9,710亿韩元(7.84亿美元)。

        该公司表示，已与大洋洲的一家航运公司达成协议，建造三艘大型液化天然气运输船，每艘运输船的尺寸为20万立方米。

        该公司以合同条件为由，拒绝透露客户的姓名。

        该航母将从2026年初开始由总部位于蔚山的3家子公司之一的现代重工业制造，并陆续交付给海运公司。

        通过此次交易，KSOE将成为今年第一家获得液化天然气船订单的跨国造船企业。自2017年以来，该公司每年获得最多的船舶合同，引领全球市场。

        今年9月，全球市场跟踪机构克拉克森（Clarksons Research Service）预测，今年全球液化天然气船订单将达到83艘。

        “自今年年初以来，我们不断收到有关液化天然气运输船的咨询。我们将致力于环保、高价值船舶的最大收益。”

        KSOE是世界最大的造船企业，也是造船、炼油、机械综合企业现代重工（HD Hyundai）的控股公司，旗下拥有现代重工业、现代尾浦造船、现代三湖重工业等3家子公司。

KSOE wins W971b order for 3 LNG carriers

South Korea’s top shipbuilder Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering said Tuesday it has landed its first contract of the year worth 971 billion won ($784 million).

The company said it sealed the deal with a shipping company in Oceania to build three large liquefied natural gas carriers, each measuring 200,000 cubic meters in size.

The company declined to reveal the name of the client, citing contract conditions.

The carriers will be manufactured by Hyundai Heavy Industries, one of its three affiliates headquartered in Ulsan, beginning in early 2026 and then delivered consecutively to the shipping company.

Through the deal, KSOE will be the first multinational shipbuilder this year to receive orders for LNG vessels.  Since 2017, it has led the global market by attaining the most contracts for these ships annually.

In September, global market tracker Clarksons Research Service predicted the world’s LNG ship orders to reach 83 this year.

“Since the start of the new year, we have been continuously receiving inquiries regarding LNG carriers.  We will focus on maximizing the profitability of our eco-friendly, high-value ships,” a KSOE official said.

KSOE is the world’s largest shipbuilder and a subholding company of shipbuilding, oil refining and machinery conglomerate HD Hyundai.  The company owns three subsidiaries – Hyundai Heavy Industries, Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. and Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries.
