Korea Shipyard Factory Monthly Order Quantity is Top 1 in the World For Two Months

British shipbuilding and maritime dynamic analysis agency Clarkson (CLARKSON), on 12 June,released data show that in May the Korean shipbuilding enterprises to undertake ship orders up to 79 million gross tonnage (CGT, 21), for 2 consecutive months boarded the world's first.
China and Japan, respectively, to 32 million CGT (17) and 80,000 CGT (3) ranked second and third. In addition, the Korean hand-held orders catch up with Japan ranked as top one. South Korea cumulative orders (2.07 million CGT, 57) catch up with China ranked first on May.
Global ship orders increased by 1 times, up to 1.66 million CGT (50). January-May global ship orders increased by 650,000 CGT,  up to 6.53 million CGT (238). Clarkson released data and show that in the end of May, the global shipbuilding industry hand orders for 76.19 million CGT, slightly down from last month. This is the global shipbuilding industry hand-held orders since March this year, after a lapse of 12 months 9 months for the first time since 80 million CGT, for three consecutive months of malaise. While the Korean shipbuilding industry hand-held orders from 2 years after the re-emergence of the chain growth, compared with the previous month increased by 150,000 CGT, up to 17.49 million CGT.
Industry analysts said the shipbuilding industry has bottomed out, South Korea has a competitive advantage, so the recovery rate of more than rival countries, but the current hand-held orders are still too small, can not solve the shipbuilding company situation for "no rice" for the fundamental problem.
