Korea's "K shipbuilding" has achieved good results and will focus on environmental pr

According to the daily economy of South Korea on August 24, in the first half of this year, the number of employees of three shipbuilding companies, including Korea shipbuilding ocean, Samsung Heavy Industry and Daewoo shipbuilding ocean, reached 37845, a decrease of more than 1500 compared with the same period last year. Relevant people in the Korean shipbuilding industry pointed out that considering the expected sales value this year, the current personnel level is the most appropriate level. In particular, the operating deficit of the three companies of Korean shipbuilding ocean, Samsung Heavy Industry and Daewoo shipbuilding ocean in the first half of the year amounted to 3 trillion won, which is considered to be an important reason why it is difficult for shipbuilding companies to increase jobs. The reason why shipbuilding enterprises have such large-scale losses is mainly due to the rise in the price of raw materials for shipbuilding iron plate, which accounts for 20% to 30% of the ship construction cost. Recently, the Korean iron and steel company and the shipbuilding company reached an agreement, and the iron plate price of 700000-800000 won per ton in the first half of this year was raised to about 1.1 million won in the second half of this year.
