South Korean shipbuilders stayed far behind their Chinese rivals in new global orders in September amid plunging demand, industry data showed Friday.
Local shipyards won a combined 120,000 compensated gross tons (CGTs) in new orders last month, accounting for 6% of the global total at 1.86 million CGTs, according to the data from global market researcher Clarkson Research Service.
The global total, or 71 vessels, was 59% lower than that from a year earlier.
Chinese shipyards far outpaced South Korean players, clinching 1.53 million CGTs in new orders, or 82% of the total.
Last month, South Korean shipbuilders clinched orders to construct 4 vessels, compared with Chinese rivals' 62 ships.
In the first nine months of the year, global orders totaled 30.14 million CGTs, or 1,196 vessels, down 23% from a year earlier.
South Korean shipyards bagged 7.42 million CGTs, or 25% of the total, with Chinese rivals winning 17.99 million CGTs, or 60%.
The data also showed the global order backlog reaching 122.19 million CGTs at the end of September, up 360,000 CGTs from a month earlier.
South Korea's order backlog stood at 39.44 million CGTs, or 32% of the total, with China's reaching 58.15 million CGTs with 48%.
Clarkson's Newbuilding Price Index, a barometer of price changes in newly built ships, stood at 175.38 points in September, up 13.26 points from a year earlier, according to the data.

Great respect to the generation who worked with the abacus
Latest update on the construction progress of the new HZ shipyard site on Changxin Island. Photographed by Sentinel L2A satellite just yesterday (October 12).
It has been quite difficult to get clear skies over Shanghai for the past two months or so...
Two observations:
1. The 003 CV-18 Fujian has no visible changes after the dismantling of the last catapult work shed, so far.
2. There is something in the new HZ drydock. First seen on the 25th last month.

The No. 2 dry dock .
No wonder they blurred that section directly to the rear of the new drydock...
