KOREA's share of global shipbuilding orders fell to four per cent in March, down from 70 per cent in the January and February in the face of the coronavirus.
In stark contrast, China took up 90 per cent of the order volume as Chinese clients ordered more tankers and containerships.
World ship orders reached 720,000 CGTs and 21 vessels in March, announced Clarkson Research on March 7. China took first place with orders of 650,000 CGTs (17 ships and 90 per cent), followed by Korea's 30,000 CGTs (one vessel, four per cent) and Japan's 29,000 CGT (two vessels, four per cent).
However, Korea's order book did not include an order for a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) ship placed on Hyundai Heavy Industries and an order for a mega ship to Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in March, reported BusinessKorea.
In February, Korea's order receipts reached 200,000 CGTs (eight ships), accounting for 67 per cent of the global total. In the same month, China took one order for a 680-TEU containership (8,000 CGTs). As a result, Korea regained its position as the world's number one in terms of shipbuilding orders.
China took first place in January with 510,000 CGTs (22 ships), but it performed poorly in February as shipbuilders could not operate their shipyards due to Covid-19.
China's orders improved significantly in March thanks to an increase in orders from Chinese customers. Orders of 560,000 CGTs (88 per cent) to China were tankers and containerships from them.
The total orders by country in the first quarter of in 2020 were 1.15 million CGT for China (55 vessels, 65 per cent), 360,000 CGT for Korea (13 vessels, 16 per cent), and 180,000 CGT for Japan (12 vessels, eight per cent).
