SEOUL, Dec. 8 (Yonhap) -- Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., a major shipyard in South Korea, said Friday that it has clinched a deal to build two very large crude carriers.
Under the deal estimated at US$166 million, Hyundai Heavy Industries is set to hand over the vessels to Sinokor Merchant Marine Co., a South Korean shipping firm, in 2019.
