Samsung To Start Building
VLCCs Up To 280,000 Dwt
Samsung Shipbuilding & Heavy
Industries of South Korea recently
confirmed that it is to start building
VLCCs shortly. The shipyard will
utilize its large No. 2 dock facility at
Koje Island for the construction of
tankers up to 280,000 dwt.
This endeavor by Samsung, which
is the first time the yard has made a
firm commitment to such a program,
follows several years of close exami-
nation of the shipbuilding industry
and feasibility studies on such a
building undertaking.
Currently, Samsung is involved
in an extensive marketing exercise
aimed at securing its first VLCC
orders. If successful, it will join
Hyundai and Daewoo as the only
South Korean shipbuilders capable
of constructing VLCC tonnage.
