Samsung Heavy Industries Co., a major shipyard here, has clinched a deal to build two liquefied natural gas carriers with a local shipping firm, industry sources said Wednesday.

The value of the deal was not immediately revealed.

The ships will be used to transport LNG between local ports, they said.

In late 2015, Samsung Heavy also clinched a deal to build two LNG carriers from the state-run Korea Gas Corp. (Yonhap)
