Samsung Heavy Industries Co., a major shipyard here, is likely to win a $1.5 billion deal to build a total of 12 articulated tug barges, industry sources said Wednesday.
According to the sources, Samsung Heavy has signed a letter of intent with SeaOne for the deal which calls for the construction of the barges that will carry compressed gas.
