Cruise ship (shipyard)
SAMSUNG HEAVY INDUSTRIES

Cruise ships are considered as the most highly value-added ships in the shipbuilding market, requiring high level of building technologies and massive amounts of capital. They are also the next core ships to lead the growth of Korea's shipbuilding industry. Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) is preparing step by step to make inroads into the cruise ship market by accumulating experience and expertise in the construction of large passenger ships.
Thus far, SHI has constructed three passenger ships weighing 28,000 tons for Minoan (Greece), and three 35,000-ton high-speed passenger ships for Norfolk (Netherlands). It also won an order from Stena (Sweden) for two 31,000-ton passenger ships. With these orders, SHI is laying a firm foundation to make inroads into the cruise ship market.
Samsung Heavy Industries developed an eco-friendly passenger ship that ran on LNG, a Korean first, and reduced emissions of nitric oxide and sulfur oxide by 90% in 2009, leading the development of differentiated ships.
