Company Background
Samsung Heavy Industries is one of South Korea's top-three shipbuilders, alongside Hyundai Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering. The company's strength is in high-value-added vessels, such as liquefied natural gas carriers, tankers and drill ships. It also makes offshore plants, such as floating production, storage and offloading systems.
The company was set up in 1974 by the Samsung group, South Korea's largest conglomerate. It is one of the largest shipbuilders in the world in terms of shipbuilding volume after the market leader Hyundai Heavy Industries. The company has increased orders for high-value-added vessels since the turn of the century.
In recent years, Samsung Heavy Industries has been boosting the number of orders it gets for its offshore plants, but it often gets saddled with construction delay charges. Improving the profitability of this business line is a pressing issue.
In September 2014, the company said it was planning to merge with Samsung Engineering, which focuses on onshore plants, to improve its technologies and streamline operations. The company, however, dropped the merger plan because buying back the shares of huge stockholders opposed to the deal proved too costly.
"We will give careful thought to the merger plan in view of market conditions and shareholders' opinions," a company representative said.
