All three foreign shipyards are dead? Shipbuilding business or relocation of two major Korean shipping companies in China.

In order to cooperate with the South Korean government to ensure the local employment level, South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding and Samsung Heavy Industries will transfer the sectional construction work originally placed in China back to South Korea. This also means that the subdivision business of the two Korean shipbuilding giants in China will be marginalized, and the three major shipyards in China-Shandong Daewoo Shipbuilding, Ningbo Samsung Heavy Industry and Rongcheng Samsung Heavy Industry will stop production or even close down, and tens of thousands of China workers will also face unemployment.

Two major Korean shipping companies are considering transferring the sectional construction work of their China subsidiary back to China.

It is reported that Daewoo Shipbuilding and Samsung Heavy Industries have expressed their participation in the construction of the "Giant Economic Employment Maintenance Model" in Juji City, South Korea, and these two shipping companies are the core subjects of this model. "Mega-economy Employment Maintenance Model" is a "common agreement" aimed at coping with the employment crisis of shipbuilding industry.

On July 16, Nan, president of Samsung Heavy Industries, met with Mayor Bian of Juji City and reached an understanding on related matters. On July 20, Li Chenggen, president of Daewoo Shipbuilding, also said that he would actively participate in the construction of "employment maintenance mode of giant economy" when meeting with Bian.

Bian Guangyong, Mayor of Juji City, and Li Chenggen, President of Daewoo Shipbuilding held a forum.

It is worth noting that when Bian met with the "responsible persons" of the two major shipbuilding enterprises respectively, he put forward the requirement of "transferring the number of shipbuilding subsidiaries of Korean shipbuilding enterprises in China to South Korea, giving priority to enterprises in Juji area".

When meeting with Li Chenggen, Bian reached a consensus on the necessity of overcoming the employment crisis of the shipbuilding industry in Juji area, and exchanged views on the employment maintenance mode of Juji, the distribution of regional materials, the extension of the designated time in the employment crisis area, and the sale of Daewoo Shipbuilding Ocean Plaza.

Bian Yongguang particularly emphasized: "In order to prevent the large-scale unemployment of employees of two major shipbuilding cooperation companies in Juji area, I hope Daewoo Shipbuilding will actively participate in the construction of employment maintenance mode and mutual agreement, and do its utmost to prevent the outflow of goods to China and other countries."

In response, Li Chenggen responded: "Daewoo Shipbuilding is currently seeking a variety of employment maintenance programs. Even if the turnover drops by 40% to 50% next year, we will try our best to maintain common manpower. Next year, our shipbuilding subsidiaries in China will be kept to a minimum to maintain their basic operations. In addition, we will give priority to all products that cannot be manufactured in Daji to enterprises in the region, and actively participate in the employment and maintenance mode of Daji with practical actions. "

When meeting with Nan, president of Samsung Heavy Industries, Bian also suggested that Samsung Heavy Industries must take "special measures" to transfer the output of its subsidiaries in China to enterprises in South Korea, especially those in Juji.
