WORLD SHIPBUILDING

This article provides an overview of the world shipbuilding market. Topics discussed include: world shipbuilding trends; shipyard capacity versus demand; efforts by major, shipbuilding nations, (i.e. Sweden and Japan), to trim down their shipyard industries in the face of a depressed market; and the rise to the status of world shipbuilding powers of developing nations like Brazil and South Korea. Shipbuilding statistics, vessels on order or under construction, are presented in a number of figures and tables. This issue of Marine Engineering/Log includes a 26 page statistical section on vessels of 1,000 or more gross tons building or on order in the worlds's shipyards as of April 1, 1980.
