Chinese shipbuilding industry
- Thread starter tphuang
- Start date
It would be nice if Guangdong shipyards can match South Korea's capacity. Guangdong is the first province that had surpassed Korea in GDP. With twice the population of Korea, Guangdong needs to further develop their automobile, semiconductor and shipbuilding industries, all of which are Korea's main industries.

Hey Peter2018, please try not to derail the thread by going into auto and semidoncudtors. This is the shipbuilding thread and not a China vs. South Korea thread.

Stick with political threads and leave the flagship forum alone please.
It looks like there would be no work done using it in the Arctics as the whole crew would be vomiting all the time during bad weather. Indeed, 2m freeboard sure looks promising for the job.
It looks more like something to clear the routes in the Bohai Sea during winter.
The ship has an electric drive.
