HD Hyundai Heavy Industries

The story so far

Hyundai's Ulsan complex is the biggest shipyard in the world, a ten-drydock city that has delivered more ships than any other single site in history. Founder Chung Ju-yung famously won the first orders in 1971 with photographs of an empty beach and a 500-won banknote showing a sixteenth-century turtle ship.

Its giants on this site span forty years: Berge Stahl, the world's largest bulk carrier for a quarter of a century, and Barzan, UASC's 18,800 TEU flagship. Today the yard builds everything from megamax boxships to LNG carriers under the HD Hyundai group.
