Opportune timing for C&Heavy

摘要

In the prevailing ship production boom, the story of another emergent yard looking to make its mark on the international stage can elicit a muted response, but any company laying claim to 64 vessel orders before it has even built its first ship, and orders running into the first half of 2011, must be worthy of separate consideration. C&Heavy Industries, whose shipbuilding operation is based in Mokpo, not far from Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries, was formally founded as recently as November 2006, when the conglomerate C&Group, which traces its short history back to 1990 and the establishment of Chilsan Shipping, bought two block manufacturers, beginning to market complete newbuilds soon after.
