For my last year and a half of employ I was resident at Samsung Heavy Industries yard in Goeje South Korea. The yard employed 30,000 crafts and spit out six to eight ships a month. Throw in nearby Daewoo in Okpo, which is where I lived, that is larger and Hyundai north along the coast (larger yet) and, yes the Korean's rule the shipping industry. Building ships is a piece of what they do as a pile of O&G work is done as well. It must be seen to really gather the scale of what they do.
