Challenge and Promise to the Ocean
We build with superior technology.

  • CRUDE OIL TANKER(SUEZMAX/AFRAMAX)

    Crude oil tankers are vessels used for transporting crude oil, playing a vital role in the global crude oil transportation industry. In particular, the crude oil tankers built by Daehan Shipbuilding are equipped with LNG Fuel System (LFS) technology, making them high-efficiency, eco-friendly vessels that meet the International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s environmental regulations. With this advanced technology, Daehan Shipbuilding has achieved the world’s top market share in the construction of Aframax-class crude oil tankers. The company was also recognized as a producer of World-Class Products by the Korea Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy for two consecutive years, 2020 and 2021.

  • PRODUCT CARRIER

    Product carriers transport the refined oil products derived from crude oil. Daehan Shipbuilding’s product carriers also comply with IMO’s environmental standards, offering high efficiency and eco-friendly features. Equipped with the latest fuel-saving technologies, these vessels have garnered global attention and recognition as “World-Class Products.”

  • SHUTTLE TANKER

    Shuttle tankers are the high-value-added vessels equipped with the advanced systems that allow them to maintain a stable position at sea despite strong waves, winds, and currents. They can safely berth with offshore oil production facilities to receive crude oil. The core systems include the DPS (Dynamic Positioning System) for automatic position maintenance and the BLS (Bow Loading System) for bow loading operations.

  • CONTAINER CARRIER

    Container ships transport goods packaged in containers, requiring relatively higher speeds than other cargo ships. Daehan Shipbuilding constructs container carriers ranging from 1,000 TEU to 8,000 TEU capacities, emphasizing diversity in ship types and strategic competitiveness enhancement.

  • BULK CARRIER

    Bulk carriers transport unwrapped goods such as grains, coal, and ores in powdered or granular form. Through its extensive experience and know-how, Daehan Shipbuilding provides top-class quality and service in the field.

Daehan Shipbuilding Dominates Global Suezmax Crude Oil Carrier Market in September — Secures 8 Vessels in Just 10 Days

Daehan Shipbuilding Dominates Global Suezmax Crude Oil Carrier Market in September,  Secures 8 Vessels in Just 10 Days         Daehan Shipbuilding announced that it has signed yet another contract for a Suezmax-class crude oil carrier with a shipping company in Oceania on September 30, following a similar order placed just one day earlier. This marks two consecutive days of new orders and further underscores the company’s growing competitiveness in the global market.   In September alone, a total of 10 Suezmax crude oil carriers were ordered worldwide — and Daehan Shipbuilding successfully secured 8 of them within just ten days. This achievement highlights the company’s strong position in its core segment.   Industry experts attribute Daehan Shipbuilding’s success in the Suezmax sector to its proven technical quality, reliable on-time delivery, and advanced capabilities in eco-friendly shipbuilding that meet the latest environmental regulations. These strengths have translated into actual orders, as more global shipowners continue to choose Daehan Shipbuilding as a trusted partner.   The newly contracted vessel will also be built to comply with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) latest environmental standards and is scheduled for delivery in October 2027.   A Daehan Shipbuilding representative stated, “Securing eight vessels in such a short period within one month shows that both long-term and new clients recognize Daehan Shipbuilding as a leading shipyard for tanker construction. Based on this momentum, we will further strengthen our position in the global market and solidify our leadership in the mid-size tanker sector.”

Daehan Shipbuilding Secures Additional Order Following Recent 6-Vessel Deal  Signs Contract for Suezmax Crude Oil Carrier with Oceania-Based Shipping Company       Daehan Shipbuilding announced on September 30 that it has signed a contract with a shipping company in the Oceania region to build one Suezmax-class crude oil carrier, valued at approximately KRW 122 billion.   This follows the company’s major order just ten days earlier, when it secured six Suezmax crude oil carriers worth KRW 710 billion. With this latest deal, Daehan Shipbuilding continues to build strong momentum in new orders.   The client is known for its focus on environmentally friendly vessel projects. Industry observers view this contract as a strong endorsement of Daehan Shipbuilding’s capabilities in eco-friendly shipbuilding and its potential for future growth.   The newly contracted vessel will meet the latest environmental standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), including Tier III emissions regulations and EEDI Phase 3 energy efficiency requirements. It will be equipped with a scrubber system to reduce sulfur oxides and will feature an “LNG Dual-Fuel Ready” design, enabling conversion to liquefied natural gas propulsion in the future.   With this order, Daehan Shipbuilding has secured nearly three years of stable workload. The vessel is scheduled for delivery in July 2027.   A Daehan Shipbuilding representative stated, “Securing an additional order so soon after last week’s large-scale contract clearly demonstrates the strong trust global shipowners place in Daehan Shipbuilding. We are currently in smooth discussions with multiple clients and expect to secure further contracts in the near future.”

[2025.09.22] DHshipbuilding Secures Large-Scale Order Worth KRW 710 Billion, Signs Contracts for Six Crude Oil Tankers with Two Shipping Companies

DHshipbuilding Secures Large-Scale Order Worth KRW 710 Billion, Signs Contracts for Six Crude Oil Tankers with Two Shipping Companies     Following its KOSPI listing on August 1, DHshipbuilding has once again demonstrated its competitiveness in the global medium-sized tanker market by signing its first large-scale contract with shipping companies based in Europe and Oceania.   On the 22nd, DHshipbuilding announced that it had won an order for six Suezmax crude oil tankers worth a total of KRW 710 billion. This contract, equivalent to seven months’ worth of workload in a single day, represents a high-quality achievement with each vessel valued at approximately KRW 120 billion.   This contract is particularly significant as it involves both a repeat order from an existing client and a first-time order from a new client. The shipping company ordering two vessels has long maintained a cooperative relationship with DHshipbuilding and placed a repeat order based on proven ship quality and reliable delivery schedules.   The company ordering four vessels is a new client. Despite this being its first contract with DHshipbuilding, it decided on a large-scale order, underscoring the company’s strong shipbuilding capabilities and credibility in the global market. All six vessels will be built as eco-friendly ships meeting the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Tier III emission standards and the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) Phase 3 requirements.   They will also be equipped with scrubbers, and the two vessels ordered by the existing client will be built with “LNG Dual-Fuel Ready” specifications, enabling future conversion to LNG dual-fuel propulsion. The vessels are scheduled to be delivered sequentially from July 2027.   With this order, DHshipbuilding has secured a stable backlog equivalent to approximately 2.5 years of work. While the company took a relatively conservative approach to orders in the first half of this year as part of a strategic stance, it has now begun responding to market changes and is expected to announce additional orders in the near future.   A DHshipbuilding representative stated: “The fact that an existing client has returned with a new order after recent deliveries, alongside a large first-time order from a new client, is highly significant. Based on our proven technological expertise and reliable delivery capabilities, we will continue to expand the trust of global shipowners.”
