Shipbuilding industry is the delegate of the heavy industry manufacturing industry of typical case of a state, what differ with ordinary person impression is, neither United States also is not nation of world the biggest shipbuilding European old big powers, however an Asian small country here -- Korea. Most exaggerated number appeared 2018, the large tanker order of on the world 90% is taken away by Korea, korea shipbuilding became the world simply at that time one bully, also became the pillar of Korea countryman economy industry, after China tightens therewith. However good times don't last long, spent half an year merely, because rolled steel rises in price,wait for cause, korea shipbuilding industry dropped to come down from first throne, the day must have difficulty walking too now.
Please
Although the shipbuilding industry of Korea is tremendous, but be controlled basically by economic oligarch place, the economic pattern of Korea is fundamental it is oligarch familial industry already the mode of economic overall situation, contemporary SPP of heavy industry, Han Jin heavy industry, Korea parts as 3 big tycoons the civil ship that the palm is controlling the great majority on the world and giant the production order of tanker, wei Shan, group hill, Philippine Subike the particular industry that 3 dockyard are this 3 big tycoons. However, 3 big dockyard are now before the shipbuilding industry cold winter of Korea, even if has allowance of a huge sum, chose finally also to close stop, see the hardship of industry of current Korea shipbuilding.
The cause that causes cold winter of industry of shipbuilding of this kind of Korea has two sides: The first atrophy that is demand of market of whole world shipping, came 2017 especially 2018 two years, get global economy is flabby the influence that looks up with trade protectionism, the acute of merchant ship order that Korea shipbuilding industry receives is decreased, a lot of dockyard can rely on governmental subsidy to maintain only go down, although so-called order resides the world high the first, mix actually other country is same, good do not go where; The 2nd rise that is iron ore price is urged move shipbuilding industry profit margin to reduce; Iron ore is the most important ore of production shipping armor plate and crucial part, its price matters to the profit margin of dockyard directly, but begin at the beginning of 2019, general of price of whole world iron ore goes up, korea steelworks also must rise in price accordingly, the profit margin that yields dockyard so goes low continuously, both sides produced a lot of contradiction accordingly, be troubled by even go there the government, but final government also is not taken give a reasonable solution to come.
Look in the government, steelworks and dockyard control the back of hand are the flesh, and as a result of the enterprise price and government have nothing to do, compulsive price violates the government, what so Korea government can do is to make industry and energy department annual only 60 million dollar gives transfer dockyard meet an urgent need, name is for market of boat of environmental protection of open up natural gas. However this was saved impossibly apparently the Korea shipbuilding line of business with this the biggest whole world, and other places of group of hill that shipbuilding industry centers, colourful hill, of local GDP 3 become and by tens of thousands employee obtain employment hold together is on shipbuilding industry, also break down to be not gotten, the profit cent between key or steelworks and dockyard is debatable must solve.
Below the harmony of Korea government, both sides undertook many rounds negotiation an interview, before close partner turned the enemy into mutual attack now, started internal conflict, especially steelworks thinks, before for allowance shipbuilding industry, what steelworks gives dockyard is preferential price, had yielded benefit a lot of year, and be faced with iron ore now rise in price, if continue to keep the price changeless, so unemployed person can turn into from dockyard employee steelworks employee, this is not acceptability apparently, employ is returned for this between steelworks oligarch and dockyard oligarch each are big media launchs attack to the other side, good not lively setting.
In the final analysis, the germ of failure of Korea shipbuilding industry nowadays still comes from the finance allowance policy at Korea government, for industry of shipbuilding of scalp exotic nation, market of race to control, annual allowance of a huge sum of accord shipbuilding industry, and let other industry yield benefit for its, once the shipbuilding industry that such development come out is faced with the concussion with market fluctuant risk, can show bigger financial crisis immediately, still want a government finally to give this money probably stand out a crisis, but, how does the government know the spring of shipbuilding industry can come certainly?
