Is it coincidental that Hanwha Philly made this announcement last year:
Work at Hanwha Philly Shipyard has already begun, with Hanwha Philly Shipyard receiving the first U.S. order for a commercial LNG carrier in nearly 50 years in July. Hanwha Shipping, the U.S. subsidiary of Hanwha’s shipping arm, exercised its option on a second LNG carrier shortly thereafter, while also ordering 10 medium range (MR) oil and chemical tankers from Hanwha Philly Shipyard. The first MR tanker is expected to be delivered in 2029, representing not just the largest U.S. commercial vessel order in more than 20 years, but also the highest-value commercial order seen at U.S. shipyards.
