        韩国两大造船巨头一天内共接获13艘油轮订单，价值超过10.6亿美元。

 

        韩国造船企业KSOE（Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering）周二表示，该公司已接获10艘30万吨VLCC订单，价值8.9亿美元（9857亿韩元）。

 

        KSOE旗下现代重工将负责建造其中7艘VLCC，现代三湖重工（Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries）负责剩余三艘VLCC的建造。

 

        这些VLCC的买家来自大洋洲，但具体名称未披露。

 

        这些新造船预计于2023年8月交付。

 

        与此同时，三星重工也获得了三艘油轮的订单，价值1.75亿美元（1946亿韩元）。

 

        买家身份未被披露，不过同样来自大洋洲。

 

        根据韩国媒体Pulse News的报道，三星重工此次订单中包含两艘备选油轮，因此三星重工有望再拿下两笔订单。

 

        三星重工在一份文件中表示，这笔订单包含三艘Suezmax，预计于2023年早期交付。

 

        三星重工目前的净销售额达66亿美元（7.3万亿韩元）。

 

        据报道，此次造船新订单的激增和新冠疫苗研发取得突破、日常生活有望恢复常态、全球经济有望恢复密切相关。

 

        新冠疫情使得造船业遭受重大打击，尤其是上半年，船东在市场动荡和资本获取受限的情况下纷纷撤离了新造船市场。

 

        VesselsValue的数据显示，2020上半年各种新造船数量共计约332艘，同比2019年的625艘下降了47%。

 

        克拉克森研究发布的数据也显示了相似的结果：2020年1-6月期间共有约269艘新造船。

A flurry of crude oil carrier orders for Korean shipbuilders surpasses $1 billion

 

Korean shipbuilding heavyweights have amassed over $1.06 billion in crude carrier orders in a single day having reported shipbuilding contracts for a total of 13 newbuilds.

 

Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering has won orders for ten 300,000 ton very large crude carriers (VLCCs) worth $890 million (KRW 985.7 billion), the shipbuilder said on Tuesday.

 

The company’s Hyundai Heavy Industries brand will be in charge of building seven VLCCs, while Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries has been entrusted with building three VLCC units.

 

The identity of the Oceania-based company behind the order has not been revealed.

 

The newbuilds are slated for delivery in August 2023.

 

Separately, South Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries has won a contract to build three crude carriers worth $175 million (KRW 194.6 billion).

 

The shipbuilder didn’t disclose the buyer behind the contract, revealing solely that the company is based in Oceania.

 

Samsung Heavy Industries is expected to win additional orders as the deal includes options for two more, according to a report from the Korean media outlet the Pulse News.

 

The three Suezmaxes are scheduled for delivery in early 2023, the shipbuilder said in a regulatory filing.

 

SHI’s net sales currently stand at $6.6 billion (KRW 7.3 trillion).

 

The contracts are being reported as ordering of newbuilds picks up speed on the back of major breakthroughs on the vaccine development front heralding a potential return to normalcy and a rebound of global economies.

 

Covid-19 pandemic has put the shipbuilding industry in dire straits, especially in the first half of the year as owners steered away from investments in new ships amid market uncertainties and restricted access to capital.

 

Based on the data from VesselsValue, in the first half of 2020 there were around 332 new ship orders across all sectors, a 47% fall when compared to a total of 625 orders in H1 2019 across all sectors.

 

Similarly, data from Clarksons Research Service shows that a total of 269 ships were ordered during the January-June 2020 period.
