“Samsung comes first in its 36 year history ”
Korean heavyweight Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has overtaken Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), if only temporarily, to hold the world’s largest shipbuilding orderbook, according to data from Clarksons Research Services.
At the end of March, HHI was ahead with 8.5 million CGT to SHI’s 8.0 million CGT, but a surge of orders in April pulled SHI ahead for the first time in its 36-year history.

“Keeping pace with the demands of the new era, we will promote growth based on green management in a bid to become a socially responsible company.”
A green management committee with a representative director will also be chosen to head the new shipyard.
