South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has won an order for a liquefied natural gas carrier.

In its regulatory filing, the yard informed the order for a single LNG carrier is valued at 206.2 billion South Korean Won ($186 million).

The order was placed by a shipowner from Oceania, SHI said without disclosing further details on the buyer.
