LONDON (Thomson Financial) - UK natural gas producer BG Group Plc said it
has ordered two liquefied natural gas ships with a cargo capacity of 170,000
cubic metres from South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries Co.
The ships are scheduled to be delivered in 2010, it said. Samsung has so far
constructed and delivered eight ships for BG.
"These two new vessels are sister ships to the vessels BG ordered from
Samsung in 2006. Their addition to the BG fleet will further enhance performance
and provide increased flexibility in meeting the growing demand by our customers
throughout the world for natural gas," said Martin Houston, BG's executive vice
president for the Americas and Global LNG.
