STX Shipbuilding, Korea’s leading developer of container ships. This is YHW

Now it’s time to meet one of Korea’s notable companies. Today I bring you a story about STX Shipbuilding, a new leader in Korea’s shipbuilding industry. Despite a recent slump in automobile and semiconductor exports, Korea’s ship exports are posting 9.3 billion dollars in trade surplus and surpassing the overall export increase rate of 19%. Korea’s dominance in the shipbuilding industry can be sustained by Korea’s ingenious shipbuilding technologies. In particular, STX Shipbuilding has quickly emerged as the nation’s premium shipbuilder by having developed the world’s largest container ship. Here is Director Choi Young-dal of the STX Shipbuilding and Ocean Research Institute to tell us more about the 22 thousand-TEU container vessel constructed by STX Shipbuilding.
