Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries is said to have inked an order for two 9,000-teu containerships from a Singapore-based shipowner.
Local papers speculate that CLSL will hold a 51% majority stake in the venture and that construction of the 147,000-cubic-meter capacity ship will begin next month.
Upon delivery, the vessel is expected to be used for transportation of oil and gas for Petronas from its interests at Bintulu to a new LNG terminal in Shanghai that will be operated by China National Offshore Oil Corporation and an unidentified energy group.
