Interesting that instead of giving seperate figures for Japan and South Korean, they had to combine them to make them look favourable against China.
Many previous posts on this thread have already gave China's ship building at below 50% of global production. The attention should be on current and future ship orders received by China, Japan and South Korean and their deliveries in years ahead.
They are part of the earlier 18 ship order. The article says as much. Quoting:
------------------------------------------
The four vessels owned by China Merchants Energy are part of a USD6 billion order for 18 LNG carriers with a capacity of 271,000 cbm each that Doha-based QatarEnergy placed with China State Shipbuilding Corp., which owns Hudong-Zhonghua, last week. The owners of the other 14 vessels are not known.
thanks .. i didn't check this.. actually headline of this news is misleading. hmm
No worries, the shipbuilding market is a little notorious. Often there's a company who owns the ships, someone who leases them, someone who finances it, and then the shipbuilder. Even the company who leases the ship might use someone to manage it.
So it was indeed the second order for China Merchants Group, they got one order in March. Interestingly though, the shipbuilder for that order is Samsung.
In other news, April was good for China, with the 18 LNG order, 76% market share.
