Sekwang surfaces as shipbuilding force

摘要

After almost eight years under the control of the Universal Church (The Moonies), INP Shipbuilding has emerged with a new name, new owners, new management, and a new business strategy that looks to get it back on production schedule this year. Relaunched as Sekwang Heavy Industries in March, and now controlled by Sekwang Shipping, the company name may be new to shipbuilding, but the head of the yard will be familiar to many in the industry. The new president is Sung-Eui Lim who, having graduated as a naval architect, went on to cut his shipbuilding teeth at KSEC (now Hanjin Heavy Industries), before a 25 year career with Hyundai Heavy Industries, starting from 1972 in the yard's design office.
