Britain's BG Group Plc agreed to buy two new liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships from South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. with an option for six more ships. BG said the price of the ships was commercially confidential but was less than three percent of BG's market capitalization -- which currently stands at 9.4 billion pounds ($13.3 billion). - (Reuters)
