HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KRX:009540) said Friday that its parent HD Hyundai's (KRX:267250) U.S. subsidiary, HD Hyundai USA, and Kiewit Offshore Services signed an agreement on Thursday in Houston to establish a joint venture named HD Kiewit Shipbuilding.

The companies have continued discussions since entering a key partnership in July, according to a Friday filing with the Korea Exchange.

HD Hyundai said it will provide an update once details are confirmed or within one month, it said.

Shares of HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering fell over 2% in recent trade, while those of HD Hyundai declined over 3%.
