Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., a South Korean shipbuilder, said Monday that it has clinched a contract from a Canadian shipping company to build two liquefied natural gas carriers.
Under the deal with Teekay Corp., Daewoo Shipbuilding will deliver the vessels with a capacity of 173,000 cubic meters of LNG by 2016, the company said.
The contract also includes an option of three more carriers, it added.
