Petronas has awarded a contract to Hyundai Heavy Industries to build four 150,200-cubic metre Moss-type liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers to meet the expanding needs and requirements of Petronas' global LNG business.
The contract, signed early October in Seoul, also includes options exercisable by Petronas to order four additional LNG carriers of the same class.
These spherical-type, new generation LNG carriers are scheduled for delivery to Petronas from the second half of 2016.
MISC Berhad will act as the project manager and technical consultant to Petronas for the construction of these LNG carriers.
