DSME Receives Orders Worth KRW1.9 Trillion For 8 Ships Including LNGCs

Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (CEO Lee Seong-Geun) won an order for 8 ships, including 2 LNG carriers and 6 container ships, from Maran Gas Maritime, a subsidiary of the Angelicoussis Group, Greece’s largest shipping company at KRW 1.84 trillion said on the 3rd.

It can significantly reduce the emission of exhaust gas to the atmosphere. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively respond to the strengthened greenhouse gas emission regulations.

In fact, according to Clarkson Research (as of the end of January), 174 (about 25%) of the 686 LNG carriers currently in operation were built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME), the largest number in the world.
