South Korea's shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries Co. announced on Tuesday that it has won a 310.8 billion won ($240 million) order for two very large ammonia carriers (VLACs) from a shipowner in the Oceania region.
The VLACs will be delivered by 2027.
Ammonia is well-known as an alternative fuel with carbon reduction potential due to its emission-free combustion of CO2.
Samsung Heavy Industries anticipates a gradual increase in the scale of orders for ammonia carriers.
With this contract, the company has achieved 72% of its annual target ($9.5 billion) by securing a total of 28 vessels worth $6.8 billion this year.
The company has secured one floating liquefied natural gas production facility (FLNG), seven liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers, 16 dual-fuel methanol-powered container vessels, two crude oil carriers, and two VLACs.
