Korea Report - June, 2016.


No Korean yard matters the monthly order received or order backlog in its hand. Their marketing activities are absolutely restricted on the principle ¡®no order on no profit¡¯. It is very much concerning. Shipbuilding industry had been through even tougher era in the deep recession in 80s, but they had never stopped their marketing like now. They had continued ship sales activities on the basis of certain level of loss for the essential projects. That made it possible for them to survive at the bottom and reach the top when market comes back.
