South Korea has accepted all the large shipbuilding orders.

The order plan for Qatar to order 100 super-large LNG carrier has been confirmed. The first batch of 40 orders will be placed within this year, and the three major shipping companies in South Korea will carve up this huge order of nearly 50 billion yuan, while the Chinese and Japanese shipping companies that originally wanted to share a piece of it are hopeless.

It is understood that Qatar will order at least 65,438+000 LNG ships, including 40 confirmed orders, 40 alternative orders and 20 orders to replace old LNG ships. Qatar Petroleum Company said that this will be the largest project in the history of LNG shipbuilding.

Liquefied natural gas carrier is a special ship used to transport liquefied gas. This ship needs to transport-163 degree low temperature liquefied gas. It is also very difficult to build this ship. There are not many countries in the world that can build this kind of ship. South Korea has taken orders for almost all LNG carriers in the world. Through continuous efforts, China has the ability to build LNG carriers. But it's a pity that China didn't get an order for an LNG ship, which also shows that South Korea has sufficient advantages in the manufacturing level and design of LNG ships.

According to the cost of $200 million per LNG ship, the total order price of 100 LNG ships is $20 billion, which is indeed a profit return for South Korea. But we also need to see the efforts of South Korea behind this. South Korea has invested a lot of money and technology to develop more advanced LNG fuel storage tanks and engines. Guaranteed the strong competitiveness of South Korea in the market. South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industry has developed an original technology that can vaporize liquefied natural gas at the temperature of MINUS 163 degrees Celsius, which is the top technology in the world.

Hyundai Heavy Industries, a South Korean shipbuilding enterprise, launched the slogan of "Stand up again and become the world's number one" in 20 19, which shows South Korea's ambition. Obviously, South Korea has gradually achieved this.
