South Korean shipbuilding industry sets up 'blast furnace' to dry 'moisture'
Time： 2024/10/12 Posted： Shenzhen Wanwei Communication Technology Co., Ltd
As Gao Zaihao previously said at the New Year's gathering of the Korea Shipbuilding Association, the global call for "greening" of ships is increasingly high. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is formulating and issuing regulations and standards for ship energy conservation, emission reduction, environmental protection, and maritime safety, which will drive the market's demand for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient ships to continue to increase. Green ships are becoming the 'darlings' of the shipbuilding and shipping markets. If shipbuilding companies can actively and proactively respond to this change in the shipbuilding market, these changes will become a good opportunity for shipbuilding companies to seize the market and a new element in their competitiveness. He stated that South Korean shipbuilding companies need to maintain their accumulated strength in the shipbuilding industry and shipbuilding technology over the years. Based on this foundation, "in the future, they need to possess marine equipment technology, improve their marine design capabilities, increase the localization rate of materials and equipment for marine equipment, and further consolidate the foundation of marine equipment. To this end, shipbuilding companies need to comprehensively strengthen their cooperation with small and medium-sized supporting enterprises.
For the offshore market, the South Korean shipbuilding industry unanimously believes that the good momentum of the international offshore market in 2012 will continue this year, and offshore is the strength of South Korean shipbuilding companies, which are expected to receive a considerable number of offshore equipment orders. According to market information held by South Korea, there is an increasing demand for offshore equipment in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia this year. Oil and gas fields in Russia's Sakhalin, the North Sea of Europe, the Asian coast, the northwest waters of Australia, the Middle East, and the coast of Brazil may all place orders for a batch of offshore equipment this year. Oil companies developing in these oil and gas fields are mostly old customers of South Korean shipping companies, so there is a high possibility that South Korean shipping companies will take on orders. The South Korean shipbuilding industry predicts that there will be around 35 orders for drilling ships this year, and it is expected that South Korean shipbuilding companies can obtain orders for about 30 ships. In addition, the South Korean shipbuilding industry is optimistic about the LNG ship and its derived offshore equipment market, based on the expansion of LNG consumption demand and the United States' intention to export LNG.
Response: Adjusting Business Policies for Three Major Ship Enterprises to Strengthen Physical Fitness
The general managers of Hyundai Heavy Industries, Samsung Heavy Industries, and Daewoo Shipbuilding&Marine all believe that the world economy is still in a crisis period in 2013, and the downturn in the shipbuilding and shipping markets may become "long-term". Therefore, companies need to take measures to cope and strive for the best results.
Modern Heavy Industries stated that it is necessary to establish a "flexible production system" that can respond to crises and changes year-round, strengthen business forces, and fundamentally improve "physical fitness". The priority goal of each business department is to ensure sufficient workload. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out "offensive" business activities, timely and accurately predict and grasp market trends and directions, and formulate response measures to minimize risks. In addition, it is necessary to improve design and production processes and technologies, enhance production efficiency, improve talent structure, comprehensively reduce production costs, innovate traditional work methods, and transform some departments with high costs and low efficiency into departments with low costs and high efficiency.
To this end, Li Zaicheng, the General Manager of Modern Heavy Industries, proposed this year's business policy: to strengthen "internal management" to cope with the deterioration of the internal and external business environment; Building a long-term crisis response system to cope with the increasing uncertainty and instability of the economic climate; Establish and promote an industry strategy of "differentiation" in business with competitors; Strengthen core strength through screening and concentration methods; Promote safety production; Continue to work hard to establish harmonious labor relations< br />
&Nbsp& nbsp; Daewoo Shipbuilding General Manager Gao Zaihao stated that in order to cope with crises and challenges, all employees should have higher enthusiasm, make thorough preparations, resolutely fulfill the promised product quality and delivery time to customers, and improve the market's trust in the enterprise. In today's world economy, which is "bumpy" in unstable air currents, the "tendons" of Daewoo Shipbuilding's competitiveness are energy-saving and environmentally friendly ships, land and sea engineering projects, and wind power equipment. Enterprises will continue to invest in research and development work and production facilities in these fields. 2013 will be the year of Daewoo Shipbuilding Ocean's transformation towards becoming the world's strongest shipbuilding ocean EPCIC (one-stop service from design, procurement, construction to installation and commissioning) enterprise. The three management policies proposed by Gao Zaihao for Daewoo are: concentrating all efforts on core business departments, improving production processes, emphasizing a corporate culture of trust and enthusiasm, and prioritizing production safety.
Samsung Heavy Industries General Manager Park Dae yeong stated in her New Year's speech that the order amount for its ships and ocean engineering will reach $13 billion this year, with ocean engineering orders exceeding $10 billion. He said, "The shipbuilding market will continue to be sluggish. We will adjust the focus of the shipbuilding industry from shipbuilding to offshore equipment, integrate the research and development design institutions of shipbuilding and offshore equipment, and establish a composite production system for shipbuilding and offshore equipment. We will ensure sufficient development and design personnel at all levels, and timely and accurately collect relevant information on the main supporting materials and equipment of ships and offshore engineering equipment. Onshore and offshore wind power generation equipment and deep-sea offshore equipment are two new business departments of Samsung Heavy Industry. This year, these two new departments will bear fruit, and relevant business departments within the enterprise should provide them with strong support
& nbsp; Regarding the business policies of the three major shipping companies in the new year, the comments from the South Korean financial and related industries are that in recent years, the ordinary merchant ship market has been extremely cold, with only the land and marine equipment markets showing some vitality. In response to this market environment, South Korean shipbuilding companies will continue to focus on this field for orders this year; In addition, these enterprises will actively seize the market for energy-saving and environmentally friendly commercial ships, as well as land and sea wind power generation equipment< br />
& nbsp; It is reported that the target amounts for orders received by Hyundai Heavy Industries, Samsung Heavy Industries, and Daewoo Shipbuilding Ocean this year are 29.7 billion US dollars (including Hyundai Sanhu Heavy Industries), 14.2 billion US dollars, and 13 billion US dollars, respectively< br />
