South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) has penned yet another contract, its fourth in the last two weeks.

Piraeus-based Evalend Shipping has placed an order for up to four LPG carriers, two of which are options if exercised.

The 38,000cbm vessels are scheduled to be delivered in 2017.

The last two weeks have seen orders placed by Coblefret, Eletson and an unknown Marshall Islands-registered owner.

The shipyards orderbook for gas carriers now totals 36.
