  "summary": "Hanwha Ocean has secured a significant order from Taiwan's Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp. for six 13,650-TEU liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel container ships, valued at approximately 1.55 trillion won ($1.05 billion). This follows a previous contract signed last September for seven 15,880-TEU LNG dual-fuel container ships. The vessels will be constructed at Hanwha Ocean's shipyard in Geoje and delivered in stages throughout the second half of 2029. The order underscores the confidence of a major global carrier in Hanwha Ocean's design, production, and process management capabilities, further solidifying the companies' long-term partnership. The new ships will utilize Hanwha Ocean's proprietary high-manganese steel Type-B LNG fuel tank, which offers superior cost competitiveness compared to alternative materials while maintaining strength and toughness at extremely low temperatures.",
