据俄罗斯油气网6月27日首尔报道，业内人士表示，韩国的主要造船企业对今年下半年的液化天然气（LNG）运输船订单寄予厚望，他们的目标是横扫全球LNG运输船订单，以巩固自己在这个行业的地位。
截至上周，韩国造船企业今年已获得了全球24份LNG运输船订单中的21份。业内人士表示，韩国造船企业预计今年将接到60多艘LNG运输船订单，韩国造企业将努力跟上他们亚洲竞争对手的步伐。
据报道，韩国三星重工被指定为俄罗斯诺瓦泰克(Novatek)领导的北极LNG-2项目的合作伙伴，因此，三星重工很有可能成为今年下半年获得北极LNG-2项目LNG运输船新订单的第一家韩国造船企业。据报道，三星重工将与俄罗斯造船商兹韦兹达联手，为诺瓦泰克的这个LBG项目建造破冰LNG运输船。
韩国KB证券公司分析师Jung Dong-ik表示：“考虑到韩国造船企业的LNG运输船建造技术，俄罗斯与韩国造船企业的合作是不可避免的。尽管交易细节尚未公布，但预计三星重工将为俄罗斯北极LNG-2项目负责建造15至20艘LNG运输船，价值30亿至40亿美元。”
三星重工的官员说，他们无法证实这笔交易，不过他们希望看到来自俄罗斯的好结果。
业内人士称，包括韩国现代重工(Hyundai Heavy Industries)和大宇造船与海洋工程公司(Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering)在内的韩国当地造船企业将试图赢得美国阿纳达科石油公司(Anadarko Petroleum)的LNG运输船订单。阿纳达科石油公司在莫桑比克的LNG项目将需要16艘LNG运输船。
韩国造船企业也在等待卡塔尔发出的LNG运输船订单的竞标结果。预计这个中东国家将需要至少40艘LNG输船，用于其北方油田扩建项目，以开发其海上气田。

S. Korean shipbuilders gearing up for massive LNG carrier orders in H2
Neftegaz.RU. South Korea's major shipbuilders are pinning high hopes As of last week, South Korean shipbuilders had secured 21 of 24 LNG carrier orders worldwide this year. With orders for more than 60 LNG carriers expected to be placed this year, industry insiders said South Korean shipbuilders will try to keep up the pace against their Asian rivals.
Samsung Heavy Industries is likely to be the 1st of the local shipyards to bag a new order in the 2nd half as the company was reportedly named a partner for the Arctic LNG-2 project led by Russia's Novatek. Samsung Heavy will reportedly join forces with Russian shipbuilder Zvezda to make ice-breaking LNG carriers for the LNG project.
"It was inevitable for Russia to work with South Korean shipbuilders considering their LNG carrier-building technologies," said Jung Dong-ik, an analyst at KB Securities. "Although the details of the deal haven't been announced, it's expected that Samsung Heavy will be responsible for building 15 to 20 LNG carriers worth $3 billion to $4 billion."
Officials at Samsung Heavy said they can't confirm the deal, although they want to see good results from Russia.
Industry insiders said that local shipyards, including Hyundai Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, will attempt to win orders from U.S. Anadarko Petroleum, which needs 16 LNG carriers for its LNG project in Mozambique.
Local shipbuilders are also awaiting the result of their bids for LNG carrier orders issued by Qatar. The Middle Eastern nation is expected to need at least 40 LNG carriers for its North Field expansion project to develop its offshore gas fields.
