  "summary": "BusinessKorea reports that HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering has secured four very large ammonia carriers (VLACs) from an African shipowner, bringing the company closer to its annual order target. The contract, valued at approximately $463.75 million, includes an average price of $157.5 million per vessel and is scheduled for sequential delivery through the first half of 2030. This brings the company's provisional year-to-date order intake to 193 vessels worth $21.2 billion, representing 91% of its $23.31 billion annual target. Industry experts attribute the company's success to its selective ordering strategy, targeting high-value-added vessels and maintaining a stable order backlog.",
