As Gao Zaihao previously stated at the New Year's gathering of the Korean Shipbuilding Association, the global call for "greening" of ships is increasing, and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is formulating and introducing regulations and standards for energy conservation, emission reduction, environmental protection, and maritime safety for ships. This will drive the increasing demand for environmentally friendly and high-efficiency ships in the market. Green ships are becoming the darling of the shipbuilding and maritime markets. If shipbuilding companies can actively and proactively respond to this change in the shipbuilding market, these changes will become a good opportunity for them 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 past years. Based on this, "in the future, they should have 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. Therefore, shipbuilding companies should comprehensively strengthen their cooperation with small and medium-sized supporting enterprises.".
For the marine engineering market, the South Korean shipping industry unanimously believes that the good momentum of the international marine engineering market in 2012 will continue this year, and marine engineering is the strength of South Korean shipping companies, which are expected to receive a considerable number of marine equipment orders. According to market information held by South Korea, there is a growing demand for marine equipment in offshore oil and gas fields in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia this year. For example, oil and gas fields in Russia's Sakhalin, the North Sea of Europe, the coastal areas of Asia, the northwest waters of Australia, the Middle East, and the coastal areas of Brazil may all place orders to manufacture a batch of marine equipment this year. The oil companies developing these oil and gas fields are mostly old customers of South Korean shipping companies, Therefore, there is a high possibility that South Korean shipping companies will take on orders. The South Korean shipbuilding industry predicts that orders for drilling vessels will reach around 35 this year, and it is expected that South Korean shipping companies can receive orders for about 30 vessels. In addition, the South Korean shipbuilding industry is optimistic about the LNG ship and its derivative marine equipment market, based on the expansion of LNG consumption demand and the US's export of LNG.
Response: Adjusting Business Policies for Three Major Shipbuilding 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 was still in a crisis period in 2013, and the downturn in the shipbuilding and shipping markets may be "long-term". Therefore, companies need to take measures to cope and strive for the best results.
Modern Heavy Industry stated that it aims to establish a "flexible production system" that can respond to crisis changes year-round, strengthen its business capabilities, and fundamentally improve its "physique". The priority goal of each business department is to ensure sufficient workload. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out aggressive business activities, timely and accurately predict and grasp market trends and directions, in order to formulate countermeasures to minimize risks. In addition, it is necessary to improve design and production processes and technologies, increase production efficiency, improve talent structure, comprehensively reduce production costs, innovate traditional working methods, and transform some high cost and low efficiency departments into low cost and high efficiency departments.
For this reason, Li Zaicheng, the General Manager of Modern Heavy Industry, proposed this year's business policy: to strengthen "internal operation" to cope with internal
